Earlier this month I stumbled across this article by Eric Geiger. You may have seen it when I shared it on the Women’s Ministry Toolbox Facebook page. What God drew my attention to was the 3 questions he asked his team:
Last week I shared a brand new, created just-for-you, icebreaker called “What’s on ur phone?“. I thought it would be fun to come up with a Christmas version too!
Back in the day there was an icebreaker game called “What’s in your purse?” It was a fun game but it no longer works at most women’s ministry events. Have you noticed? A lot of your women aren’t carrying purses anymore.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” While no doubt Charles Dickens wasn’t referring to women’s ministry retreats, many of us would borrow those words to describe our retreat and retreat planning experience.
Does your mind sometimes draw a blank when your team sits down to discuss possible service project ideas?
I need to apologize, the list that follows is probably going to come across a bit critical. You may view it as a list of complaints. I’ve thought about trying to re-write the whole piece from a positive angle. “10 Things I Love about Well-Run Team Meetings” or something like that.
Did you know that October is Ministry Appreciation Month? I’ll admit, it’s not one I have marked on my calendar, but I should.
Perhaps you can relate to our recent budget dilemma… Our women’s ministry team has been working through the initial plans for our next retreat.
Do your women know when your next event is? Are you sure?
The number one question I receive is “How do we get the younger (or in some cases older) women in our church to participate?”
