Download a Girls Night Out Information Guide
Every church recognizes that godly women are the backbone of its testament to the world. Just as our Savior’s faithful mother, aunt and friend Mary Magdalene remained with him until the very end, so do the faithful ladies in our congregations speak most often and most loudly for Christ. In many cases, these Christian testimonies are best expressed through concerted acts of generosity. Women’s ministries that engage in charity work forge bonds of Christian sisterhood while proclaiming our Father’s love for all of His children. Experience has proven that focusing on others is an excellent way to deal with our own problems. When we put the needy first, our own worries are often put in perspective, diminishing or disappearing altogether. In order to keep members of your women’s ministry fully engaged, it’s important to plan and execute generous works on a regular basis. Charitable events are excellent opportunities to involve those ladies who may be less active in Sunday services.
Our generosity must always give precedence to needy congregation members. Nevertheless, we have a duty to extend our Christ-like endeavors throughout the community. Excellent event ideas for your women’s ministry include distributing food or toiletries to homeless families, visiting and assisting the sick and elderly and even babysitting for harried single parents. In order to ensure maximum attendance, technologies like Facebook and texting should be employed. Isn’t it amazing how God gives us new technologies to do His work? Beginning and closing with prayer ensures that events are guided by the Spirit. Events should be planned well in advance in order to give moms time to massage their schedules in preparation. And perhaps most importantly, acts of generosity shouldn’t be reserved for annual or biannual events. Generous ladies love being part of a group with a consistent, ongoing commitment to serve.
For any women’s ministry, it’s important to offer a fun reward from time to time. There’s few better ways to do this than arranging for a Girls Night Out. Girls Night Out is a faith-building, two-hour women’s event that is edifying lives in churches across our United States. This event brings women from the community together in an affirmation of fun, spirituality and generosity. Thanks to generous underwriting from faith-based organizations, the organizers of Girls Night Out can offer their program at very little cost to participating churches. If your women’s ministry is looking for a new way to combine fun and faith, Girls Night Out may be a literal Godsend.
