We have a book club. Our current book is "Purpose Filled Life" by Rick Warren. We meet every third Friday of the month. After the session, we are given an assignment by Pastor "D" (our pastor's wife), to discuss as our next session.
We also have 'Ladie's Night' where we have done one of the following:
- Makeup Session with Mary K products (supporting a Mary K rep. from the 'Body'.
- All Night Prayer...(I love these). We just bring a sleeping bag, pillow, dress comfortable and each hour we have a prayer topic and a different minister to share a brief message about it and then we pray. It's awesome and so powerful.
Other Suggestions:
- Celebrate birthdays (It could be everyone's birthday for winter, spring, summer or fall).
- Holiday celebrations; share gift ideas and decorations
- Sewing and fashion night. You can bring an outfit that you need help with for coordinating shoes, jewelry, make-up, etc. The sewing applies to helping each other hem a skirt, dress, pants, etc.
- Fashion night is also a good time to exhort those who are challenged with their wardrobes.
- Organize a health and fitness group.
- Organize a 'New Brides' group as well. The older 'married/once married women can be very helpful as mentors here.
- Organize a single lady's group for dating and courting. Young women need to have mentors in this area as well.
- Have a mentorship for women whose husbands are in leadership.
Shimmie those are some great ideas, thanks you for the fashion idea, because we do have ladies that don't have a clue how to dress or match or what is church attire and what is club attire and this setting will help without embarrassing anyone. The purpose for me is to uplift and stregthen my sisters.
Thanks again.
