In DATETIME values, the month part and weekday part have names. You can use the DATENAME() function to get the month name and weekday name from a DATETIME value in the following format: 

DATENAME(datepart, date) returns NVARCHAR:
"date" - the input date
"datepart" - "month" or "weekday"

Here is a simple example: 

DECLARE @submit_date DATETIME;
SET @submit_date = '2007-05-19 16:10:41.403';
SELECT 'Posted in the month of '
   + DATENAME(month, @submit_date)
   + ' on a '+DATENAME(weekday, @submit_date);
GO
Posted in the month of May on a Saturday
