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.

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.

Event: Teacup Exchange
Our Ladies Ministry Team is coordinating our second annual teacup exchange. I must admit I took this idea from another church that has been doing it for 10 years. We use beautiful tablecloths, real napkins, beautiful centerpieces, etc. to make this a special occasion. It is held from 2-4:00 PM and the ladies are asked […]
Event: Staying in Focus
Just a slight shift can cause our vision to shift out of focus. It’s no different with our spiritual sight. So we came up with an event idea that would draw the attention of our women to Christ by focusing on what it really means to focus. Objective Letting God adjust our focus to move […]
Event: What’s Behind Your Mask?
