Greetings,
We
have
spent
some
time
looking
through
our
archives
over
the
last
few
weeks,
and as
we
read,
we
were
reminded
over
and
over
again
how
creative
you
ladies
are!
This
week,
from
Fall
of
2003,
we
bring
you a
Team
Builder
Idea,
a
Seasonal
Event
Idea
and an
Icebreaker
Idea
that
all
illustrate
how
you
can
take a
simple
idea
and
customize
it to
your
event.
Also
in
this
issue,
Jennifer
answers
another
question

Video

Week

Team
Relationship
Builder:
Fruit
of
the
Spirit |
|
|
|
Based
on:
Galatians
5:22-23
Objectives:
Finding
out
more
about
the
women
in
a
group
or
team
Materials:
drawing
paper,
markers,
colored
paper,
other
craft
materials
Procedure:
This
works
well
with
a
new
planning
team,
for
a
conference
or
retreat
planning
team
who
are
just
beginning
to
get
to
know
each
other.
Ask
each
lady
to
think
of
a
piece
of
fruit
that
describes
her
personality
the
best.
Then
have
each
one
draw
the
fruit,
or
create
something
to
represent
the
fruit
and
ask
them
to
share
how
this
fruit
relates
to
their
personality.
Ask
them
to
think
carefully
about
it
and
use
it
as
an
opportunity
to
share
about
themselves
with
the
group.
(Ex:
Grapes
best
describes
me.
I
love
groups
but
I
can
be
picked
out
of
the
bunch
to
be
alone.
I
can
lead
and
I
don't
mind
being
a
follower.
I
love
working
with
people.
I
will
speak
my
opinion
and
I
some
times
do
not
take
criticism
well,
but
I
am
learning
not
to
wear
my
feelings
on
my
sleeve.)
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
women
to
share
in
a
fun
and
interesting
way.
After
everyone
has
told
about
their
"fruit-style,"
remind
them
how
the
fruit
in
our
lives
is
powered
by
the
Holy
Spirit
and
that
God's
desire
is
for
the
team
to
work
together
toward
a
common
goal.
Then
review
the
purpose
for
the
team
to
work
together
(retreat,
leadership,
etc.)
and
spend
some
time
in
prayer.

Event
Idea:
Seasons
of
Faith |
|
|
|
This
event
was
a
dessert
fellowship
time
for
our
women's
ministry
group.
Promotion:
We
bought
blank
bookmarks
and
decorated
them
with
seasonal
stickers
and
included
the
name
and
date
of
the
event.
These
were
handed
out
as
invitations
the
Sunday
before
the
event.
Description:
Before
the
event
we
selected
people
to
decorate
sets
of
tables
according
to
the
four
seasons.
We
then
labeled
the
tables
with
months
of
the
year.
When
the
ladies
arrived,
they
sat
at
the
table
that
represented
their
birth
month.
For
our
program,
we
had
several
of
the
ladies
in
our
group
share
a
song,
a
skit
or
their
testimony.
In
keeping
with
the
theme
we
had
asked
three
ladies
in
different
"seasons"
of
their
walk
with
God
to
share
their
testimony
with
the
group.
For
dessert,
each
table
had
their
own
birthday
cake
decorated
according
to
their
season.

Note:
This
would
be
a
fun
event
to
hold
once
a
quarter
to
celebrate
birthdays
or
just
for
a
Ladies
Night
Out.
Use
the
season
theme
and
do
one
in
the
Spring,
Summer,
Fall
and
Winter.
Have
one
of
your
leaders
with
a
birthday
in
that
quarter
share
a
short
testimony
or
devotional.

IceBreaker:
We
Are
the
Body |
|
|
|
Objectives:
This
ice-breaker
has
two
functions:
It
gets
women
up
and
moving
and
puts
the
ladies
into
groups
for
other
functions
at
a
retreat
or
conference
like
a
prayer
group,
small
group,
etc.
(Usually,
it
gets
the
ladies
to
laugh,
as
well.)
Materials:
Little
slips
of
paper
with
parts
of
the
body
listed.
