We meet EVERY 2nd Thursday of the month at 6PM. We have had an attendance between 18 to 45 women attend (45 was our annual Christmas luncheon which we hold on the 2nd Saturday in December, from 12:30 – 3). Once or twice a year we ask women for ideas and/or suggestions about what they would like to do. Our gatherings range from craft night to guest speakers to game night to an annual birthday party for our ministry. It’s VERY casual, lasts for about 90-120 minutes and we’re VERY respectful of everyone’s time – we start PROMPTLY at 6PM!

Those times include different ladies. But some retired attend everything, usually Saturday.
I provide the majority of the food, beverages,table settings, decor but have a sign up to let them know they can contribute too. Every event has a mixer activity and a Make and Take craft activity. Pastor does a devotion message and a prayer.
It’s a spiritual social Womens fellowship experience . Just did a Saturday moms event. Spectacular. Wish I could show photos.

In December I’ll do an Advent workshop. Women can choose to bring families
We will decorate wreaths. Tapas and Sangria. Lots to look forward to

Cherie, Thank you so much for your comment on my post and your service to women in your church!

I recently published a new book, Rethinking Fellowship: A Handbook for Meaningful Women’s Ministry Events that addresses how to incorporate faith in everything we do. It’s available on Amazon and in my online store (www.womensministrytoolboxshop.com) I pray you’ll find it to be helpful!

Also it makes them feel special that they have their own time to be with other sisters in Christ. They love to chat and laugh – I usually have three luncheons throughout the year free of charge with guest speaker. What I am needing is more different ideas for the spiritual support for these ladies – any ideas? Thank you again for your article.

Hi Felicity, these articles are written for women who are serving in their local church on the women’s ministry team. Women’s ministry provides an opportunity for women to experience Titus 2 relationships, disciple one another, serve one another, grow in their spiritual walk, and find biblical encouragement. You may not see the need for it in your current season, but someday you may want the benefits and blessings women’s ministry can offer.

I just don’t like the whole concept of events just for women. I prefer to go to things with my husband, or my family. Some women don’t enjoy being in the company of a big group of other women. I don’t see the point in a ministry exclusively for women.
