I was first introduced to Lent by a patient at the hospital where I volunteered during high school. He was in traction and had a sign posted on his door that read, “I gave up walking for Lent.” The traditions of Lent were different from those I knew. We celebrated Easter as the high point […]
Overview of Event Planning for Ministry
Every event in your ministry should have a purpose. Special events, in particular, offer fun, fellowship and renewal all rolled into one. With an informal setting and non-threatening environment, a special event is a great way to attract people at all stages of faith. Plus, through events, we can teach that God’s church is not merely a building, […]

Event: Purse-onality
This event is based on The Purse Driven Life and Purse-onality by Anita Renfroe. Decorations We used old purses filled with plants, flowers, gloves, beads, etc. to decorate tables.

Leadership: The Leader’s Fountain of Youth
Carol was in her early 50’s when we first met. I was a good two-and-a-half decades younger, and I thought she was cool. At first, I figured it was her clothes and hair that made her so “hip” and different from the other women in her age group. I soon realized it was something deeper. […]
Event: A Celebration of Ruth
Five women are mentioned in the lineage of Christ: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary. Interestingly, none of these women had untarnished reputations. Three were not Hebrew by birth. All faced precarious circumstances and were the most unlikely candidates among those who might be used by God to do something great. They were much like […]
Soul Care

It requires transparency and vulnerability before God and each other during this life-long journey that transforms from the inside out. Soul care is taking the […]

Neighborhood Cafe:
At your Table, In your House
The women in your neighborhood are likely to spend five hours and 24 minutes each month following their Facebook friends. Facebook has replaced face-to-face, heart-to-heart conversations. We tweet instead of talk. Our electronic disconnect means we’re “friends” without being friendly. Our status updates are witty and cute, with pictures of our darling children and amazing […]
