Stay Connected Through the Summer
Yesterday, I met with some of my Bible study teachers. When Megan arrived, she settled in a chair, looked at the ladies gathered around the table, and, with a sigh, announced, “I have missed being with women!” The rest of us felt the same! Summer is a great time for families and relaxation. But, the […]
Bridge the Generational Gap
Just about every women’s ministry in the country wants to know the answer to the question, “How do I get all the different generations involved and working together?” While there is no set answer or perfect program, I’ve learned and seen some things over the years that can increase our chances of bridging the generational […]
Be a Dependent Dreamer
Admittedly, I’m a dreamer. Often, I’m caught in thought – planning, wondering and imagining a variety of things. Most of the time they are ministry related. The words of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech cause my heart to beat faster, as the dreams God places inside me begin to form […]
Listen Well
The other day someone was telling a story and I was so intrigued that I asked a lot of questions. The problem was not the questions but it’s the idea that my many questions – sometimes voiced mid-sentence – did not convey what I wanted. I wanted her to know I am interested in what […]

Be a Leader Who Encourages
What do you need to make a fire? Fuel, heat and oxygen. A spark ignites and, gently blowing on the embers, gives it fuel. Our breath, combined with the oxygen in the air, creates a burst of flame. The fire spreads and strengthens, providing warmth and energy. A spark kindled properly creates a flame, which […]
Solutions for Summer Ministry Challenges
Summer is in full swing. School’s out, the temperature is rising, and regular schedules have been set-aside until September. Yes, summer is fun and laid back for families, but it can be a challenging time for women’s ministry. Many churches simply take a three-month hiatus during the summer. Others continue a scaled-down version of some […]
Set Boundaries to Find Balance
There was a time in my life when I took pride in the fact that I could do many things at once. I remember wearing my baby in a sling around my chest while bathing my other two children, making dinner and talking to my sister on the phone. All. At. The. Same. Time. I […]
