“Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats” was the theme of the Mother’s Day program presented by the Lay Organization of St. Paul A.M.E. Church. The Second Annual Mother’s Day event was held at Cal State San Bernardino.

Quinn AME Church of Moreno Valley and the Women’s Ministry of 16th Street Seventh Day Adventist Church joined in the co-sponsorship.

Models showed vintage hats owned by women of the churches. Youth from St. Paul, under the direction of Christina Clark and 16th Street (Little Harmony), under the direction of Manerva Mosley danced like David with their spirited praise team performances.

Christian comedian and author Richard O. Jones, had the audience laughing uncontrollably with his jokes and stories. Tricia, the church organist gave an outstanding recitation using much of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s work. Event MC’s were Cheryl Brown and Linda Jackson. Kathy Ervin and Andre Harrington were the program’s directors. Harrington was the brains behind the theme. Jeannette Morris is the President of the Lay Organization.
