Hi Lorna, I have a couple of suggestions for a prayer breakfast. The first is setting up prayer stations. Here’s a post with some ideas: https://womensministrytoolbox.com/prayer-station-ideas-for-your-retreat/ Also, my ACTS Prayer Workshop can help women strengthen their prayer skills. You can find everything you need to offer that here – https://womensministrytoolboxshop.com/products/prayer-warrior-boot-camp-for-groups I hope that helps!

How can we plan for a prayer breakfast.? Any ideas?

I’m glad you found this post helpful. I don’t sell or send the grief baskets. You’ll need to make your own.

My husband and I lead a bereavement group meeting, once a month. I’m a friend of Angie Donoho at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in El Paso, TX.

Thank you! 🙂 I hadn’t thought that much about the personal touch of a delivery from a church member, but you’re absolutely right!

Linda, thank you for your sweet and encouraging note! I love your heart for reaching people who do not know Christ. While it’s challenging to offer advice without knowing anything about your community, sports are a great way to reach young families if you have facilities to host sports camps, clinics, etc. Community events like craft shows are a great way to get your name out as well. Many years ago our church hosted a kids craft area at a local craft fair. We made sand art crosses (check Oriental Trading for supplies) and gave out temporary tattoos. It was a huge hit! I hope that sparks some ideas!

I’ve been receiving your emails for sometime, but never seemed to find the time to read or listen. My apologies. I do plan to do better as I’ve found that the information is great. While somethings may not work for our church, they spark ideas that will. We are a small congregation but spiritually we are a mega church!!! I pray you are feeling better soon and please keep up the good work. I’m really interested in any ideas a smaller church can do to reach out to bring people who know not Christ or in need of a church family. May God continue to bless and keep your ministry.

Thank you for the latest episode of Womens Ministry Toolbox that includes the baby and grief baskets. These are such loving ideas to celebrate the bifth of new life and\or console those who are grieving – particularly as the baskets are delivered with a visit by a member of the Church. That conveys love and thoughtfulness to the recipient and offers so much more meaning than receiving something from a delivery service. God bless this ministry. I plan to share it with our church’s Women MI istry.
Love,Peace, and Power of The Holy Spirit
