Rekindle – to set alight or start to burn again. (thefreedictionary.com)

I love the word rekindle. And, I love it’s meaning.  It just sounds so……hopeful.  And, it anticipates something new happening out of something already there.  This is where we are in Ladies Ministry.  We have a new name, we have new leaders and we have new schedules and events.  But, we couldn’t have any of that “newness” without that which was already established.  We have many women working in Women’s Connection who have been in ministry for years and many things we do will have already been done before.  What we want to do now is ignite a new passion, fan the flames of existing ministries and burn with a new desire to reach out to women where they are and connect our lives with theirs, all with Christ as our foundation.  Will you join us?

“Joining us” will look differently to each of you.  You may be a prayer warrior for women and the ministering to them.  You may have a calling to teach or lead a small group.  You may have a home open for a Bible Study or gathering.  You may want to be on our leadership team to help plan and implement events.  Or, you may be an attender.  Please pray for your role as this ministry is for all women, regardless of their walk with Christ, their church attendance, their age, marital status or availability.

So, here’s what you do next!

1.  Feel free to subscribe to this blog, so you can receive any new information as it’s posted.  Feel free to leave comments on the blog – how can we pray, what suggestions do you have, what may be of interest to this community of women?

2.  Attend an event!

Kids Play, Moms Pray – Occurs the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at the church.  All women are invited whether or not you bring kids with you.  From 9am-10am, everyone gathers to just chat with one another.  From 10am-11am, the moms break out to another room to pray for our families and the kids stay with a childcare worker to play and have snacks together.

Ladies Night Out – Occurs the last Monday of every month.  At 6pm, women can meet at the church and bring a project you want to work on.  Are you a scrapbooker?  knitter?  stamper?  Any project you’re wanting to have some space and time to enjoy is welcome!  Bring a snack and come enjoy relaxing among friends.

Fall Gatherings! – We’re excited to invite you all to a women’s Fall Gathering!  This will occur in the gym on October 16th at 5pm.  This will be a casual evening of food and fun.  We will provide drinks and dessert and ask you to provide a potluck dish.  If your last name begins with A-M, please bring a side dish/salad.  If your last name begins with N-Z, please bring a main dish.  This will be a perfect opportunity for you to get away and enjoy time with other women.  We will present some upcoming opportunities with Women’s Connection, as well, but no one will be put on the spot about anything.  Could you let us know if you plan to attend?  Just email Michelle Fowler or leave a comment on this blog.

It’s an exciting time and we don’t want you to miss out on any of it.  All women are welcome to attend any event, but if you feel a bit shy about attending alone for the first time, or are a bit unclear as to what to expect, please contact me, Michelle.  I’d love to meet with you or just chat!

I’m praying for you, ladies, and your families.  I’m so honored to be ministering along side you.

Michelle
