Small Church Plans

Let's face it, women need women. No matter how much we would find our satisfaction in our family, husbands, children or churches - Women need other women to bounce things off of their balance from learning, and have a conversation heart to heart life and how to live it.

Do you have a scholarship from the church, and if a group of women virtually non-existent? Do you have a church fellowship that feels a group of women is not needed, not according to format, vision, strategy or model of the church "? BAAA Humbug! Every church needs a dynamic group of women! Women are wired for relationships, perhaps more than men. Women are nurturers! We need these relational links that support and we learn through our changes in women's singles youth, adulthood, marriage, parenthood, and possibly grandmothering! We need these things more practical, emotional and intellectual levels, we need them spiritually as well!

So, do you have a group of women in your church and fellowship. If not, then maybe you are prompted to create one. If so this will be an exciting journey for you to do! A challenge? YES. Easy? NO - Reward? Abso-Posi-tutely!

I have long wanted to start a group of women who could meet the growing equipment and pressing needs of women in a purse for times of encouragement and participation. Apart from the annual retreat there is nothing that speaks directly to women, their needs, concerns and questions. Nothing that has encouraged them to come together to support each other when things are difficult.

These trends of "relevance" does not seem to meet the need of the supervision that young women need ... and separate groups according to age, divided and weakened further the body of communion rather than strengthen it.

In a relatively young church, we "old Thans" can speak in spirit and in truth the lives of younger women, either married or unmarried women. It is vital to their understanding of life in Christ appropriately as they grow and mature spiritually, emotionally and family. It is essential that they struggle with dealing with husbands, more and more of the family, career and the various changes that they can and will inevitably face.

I started Graceful Vine department with a core of seven women who drew me a vision to reach across the borders of church life. Each came from different backgrounds, ages, marital status and the churches. Working on their strengths, we have begun to put together a vision of what we saw was the best way to address on a broad basis, the issue of lack of events and gatherings of women.

We immediately started working on the branding, integration and programming 6 events per year to bring women together across borders church. Our first year has five events, one every two months from March, with an average audience of 60 women participated.

Each response on the part of women was a word of encouragement for us, a team ... We saw women crying, praying together, supporting each other, meeting after years of infringement, healing and forgiveness and a renewed exuberance for the things of God and His word precious. All these women come from different churches, some of the most demonstrative of Pentecost, the other by the more conservative Baptists.
