In reply to Monet. Monet, thank you for your comments. I agree God can certainly use the conversations we have as we fellowship to spur one another on spiritually!

Some one mentioned the activities having no or hardly any depth of spiritual help .. so fellowshipping with your sister in Christ constitutes no “spiritual help”? I’m sorry I have to disagree. The very answer to your problem could be in the lap of one of your sisters….but one would never know that, or explore that as an option if fellowship is overlooked. Personally, I love these ideas – most make things complicated when it’s not. If you can find the love, glory and peace of God in the mundane or regular things of the world – how much greater is it, than with a group of women or a single sister that you can confine in and lock arms with in times of trouble? It’s these sorts of activities that can lead to those types relationships! If cultivated right, there is nothing like having a praying woman on your side!!

In reply to Jan Nelson. Jan, thank you for your comments. You are right, the primary purpose of this event was fellowship. There was most definitely some encouragement taking place as we painted and then served together. :) There was also a bit of Titus 2 at work with older women teaching the younger women skills. Events, such as these, can serve as a bridge. The team at this church scheduled 1-2 bridge-building events per year. The rest of their schedule included weekly Bible studies and about 3 events that were more focused on teaching, Biblical support, etc.

I am surprised that most of these do not have any depth of spiritual help at all. We live in a troubled world and there are so many areas that women need encouragement.

Just got home from an Art party and with 20 ladies in attendance it was our most successful event yet. The suggestions helped so much. What a wonderful night of fun, laughter and fellowship. Thanks for all you do. I am able to lead our newly developed women’s ministry thanks to your help. You and this website truly are a blessing!!!

Enjoy reading your women’s ministry ideas. How to use the women’s in the church. Opportunity for them to share their talent.

In reply to Charlene. Charlene, So glad you found my site. :) It was another one of our team members that ran the strawberry jam workshop. I'll see if I can get the recipe from her. :)

Cyndee, I have just stumbled upon your site due to starting plans for a spring retreat. I would love to have your strawberry jam recipe and how you set up the workshop. I think this is an awesome idea for our women to do next year when the local berries are in. I love your site.

In reply to valerie.

Valerie, I grew up in a church that hung beautiful banners around the sanctuary. What a great project to undertake! 🙂 Honestly, though, I think your project is a service project to your church. Not that you can’t add another. 😉 Maybe you would want have the group make a banner to donate to a church that doesn’t have the resources or skills to make their own…just a thought! May God bless your time together!
