| We had a meeting to discuss Women's Ministries
here in the Vineyard. Some "new" faces were there and
some "older" faces were unable to be there. We are trying
to listen to each other and to the Lord about what we feel He is
speaking for future Women's Ministry and what it looks like. We
came up with several key points and wanted to share them with you.
Key points:
- God is not doing the same old same old.
- God is stirring up some things, but we are not
able to see the whole thing, at this point.
- God wants us to be involved in ministry, and we
are, many great things are going on.
- We are not aware of many ministry opportunities
that are taking place in the Body. For instance, how is the Food
Bank coming along? How are the ongoing mentoring relationships
going? Who all is going on mission trips this summer? etc.
- Graham has challenged us to develop ministry from
the ground up. What does this look like for the Women's Ministry?
Who is passionate about it in our midst?
- We need to get together in a larger setting and
pray together to find these things out and to build relationships.
- We are committing to meeting once a month (more
maybe?) to pray and build relationships intergenerationally. Our
next meeting will be June 11th, after church, location to be determined.
Bring a bag lunch and we will start with a meal together and then
pray. We are asking other women to join us, pray and see what
God is doing. This is an invitation to you and any others you
can invite to join us. Feel free to send this to any woman in
our body that you feel has a heart for Women's Ministry and you
feel she may want to know about this.
Thanks for prayerfully considering this,
Jackie Hart
