Childcare for Bible Studies

Breaking Free our women's bible study is looking for anyone interested in helping with childcare. If you have a heart for little ones and would like to bless this bible study and these ladies with your time, they would love some help! The study starts February 4th from 9am - 11am and continues every Wednesday for a couple of months. If you know of anyone, including teenagers who are homeschooled who want to earn Community Service hours or a little money, please email Heather Clack at women@getlife.tv! God Bless you!

Finding your Sweet Spot in Women's Ministry

After Monday's Vision Planning meeting, I had a few ladies come up to me and let me know that they wanted to serve in Women's Ministry, but didn't know where. I asked them if they had by chance filled out the SHAPE profile and they hadn't. This is what led me to writing this post.

When you find something your passionate about, you start to understand that this is one of the unique qualities that God knitted inside you. When you have the opportnity to utilize the gifts he gave you, you feel like you are serving God with a purpose he had for you. I've been asked numerous times, how do you know what your purpose is? I've also been told, I don't know what my gifts and talents are. In fact quite a few ladies wrote that on the survey. Well, I'd like to help you try to figure them out!

There is an amazing tool that was created called the SHAPE profile. It asks you questions to get you to think about your Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, & Experience to help you find your “sweet spot” in ministry at LifeChurch. If you have never filled it out before, I want to encourage you to do so. It takes a little time, but anything worth while usually does. I recently took the profile again, and it helped me to understand that Leadership in Women's Ministry is a sweet spot for me! I'm glad I took it again, because maybe I wouldn't have this amazing opportunity today!

Here is a link to the SHAPE profile. http://www.getlife.tv/shape/ Click on Continue here. You can fill it out online or print out the Profile and fill it out. I would LOVE to go through it with you once you completed it. It would be an honor to help you find a "Sweet Spot" in Women's Ministry... or Children's Ministry or... who knows what God has planned for you!

Saving your Magazines!

I just received a wonderful email... Jan Grattan goes to visit Stephanie Stout in the hospital quite often and as you can well imagine, being in the hosptial at 26 weeks pregnant and having to stay until the baby is born, has to get a little lonely and boring at times. Jan was wondering if our ladies would save the magazines (or a good book) and bring them to church on weekends. She will have a basket at the connecting life table this weekend to start collect your goodies. If you would like to drop a little note to Stephanie, that would be wonderful too! I'm sure she would love to hear from you!

Women's Ministry - Vision for 2009

Next Monday evening, Jan. 26th, is our Women's Ministry Vision Planning Night! I will have the survey up on the big screen to show you the results (confidential of course) of the survey! It has been very fascinating to hear what our women really want to focus on this year. We will be talking about plans for this year, what events we really want to focus on... and hopefully start finding out who wants to be involved in coordinating these events. We will also talk about Bible Studies, Interest groups (cooking/exercise et) retreats, conferences and more! I hope we have a great turnout for this event! It will be at the church in the Sanctuary at 7pm. Please sign up this weekend at our booth! If you haven't had an opportunity to fill out the survey, would you please fill it out before Monday night! Here's the link one more time: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=_2fNLKXT2QSauKvHD3fb1scA_3d_3d

Ministry Fair - Stop by the Women's Ministry Table!

This coming Sunday is LifeChurch's ministry fair. Each ministry will have a table set up to share information about their ministry. Our table will have sign ups for our current Bible Study, a sign up to RSVP to Monday evening's Vision Planning night, a sign up for leadership opportunities, our Meal's Ministry and a sign up to receive news and information from Women's Ministry (for those who don't receive emails like this one :) They are having a contest to see which ministry has the best looking table and receives the most sign ups to serve within that ministry. I hope we win!! That means I hope you'll stop by and sign up on one of our sign up sheets :)

Breaking Free Bible Study

We have one Bible Study starting next month, (I'm sure after next week, we'll be planning some more) Heather Clack is leading a study called Breaking Free by Beth Moore. It will be on Wednesday's from 9am-11am at the church starting February 4th. There will be a sign up this weekend, but you can also email Heather at heather_clack@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending or have more questions. We are already seeing a high level of interest for this study! God Bless you Heather for jumping in and starting the year off with an amazing study for our women!!
