Good morning, Ladies. I'm the Director of Women's Ministries at our church. This is my problem: We do not have a budget for our Christmas Brunch, so ticket...
... We sponsor a womens conference once a year, and the ladies in the group usually do not pay, but some will still be a blessing. I feel that if possible...
I agree with you. It is not neccessary to provide those ladies with free tickets. (IMHO) I have a retreat committee of 8 ladies that do praise and worship,...
Oh, let me also add that many times individuals or churches will donate sponsorship if you will let the need be known. This year we had 4 ladies who were...
My thoughts on this are a bit harsh. I am also the Women's ministry director at our church. I feel that if a woman really wants to go to a brunch, retreat, ...
I agree Gina. My thoughts are that no one should be left out because of money. Where there's a will...there's a way. :-) Sisters in Christ Debbie ... ...
Thanks so much to all of you - I will begin a scholarship program for these kinds of things, and from now on, no free lunches except for outside speakers/guest...
I understand what you are saying...and that is all well and good if your ministry is a "church" ministry. However, independent, non-profit ministries do not...
The only problem is that everyone seems to need "help" when the word gets out and sometimes you have to be a little discerning. The sad truth is that there...
Hi, fccwoman, Is the luncheon being catered? If so, check with the caterer to find out when the last date is that you can give him/her a head count. Use the...
Thanks much -- we've already committed to the caterer, so this year can't be changed. We have a large church and don't know many of the women who will be...
Very good! Yes, the Scripture helps because it says those who are "widows indeed" which means those truly in need. I believe that scripture would cover any...
If you have done this scholarship thing for retreats, then someone must know which of the women in your church would need some help. It does not have to be a...
Our women's ministry started out with no budget at all. I finally got them this year to give us $500...and even that isn't enough to give scholarships. What...
Thanks so much for your encouragement! Ms Debbie Sanders <debi36_98@...> wrote:Our women's ministry started out with no budget at all. I finally got...
In that case, you might want to contact the various churches in your area and let them know that there are no scholarships available through your ministry and...
We have no formal women's ministry at our church. It is a desire of mine to see one start however I am a very logical type of person. I would like to survey...
Hi Just wanted to drop a line and say that there is a great need for women ministry not just for being a mom be she single raising several kids or just a wife...
Hi Connie, thanks for writing, I appreciated your input! The best thing you can do right now as having just come back to the Lord, is spend lots of time just...

I need ideas on who to approach about initial funding for a program called Straight from the S.O.U.R.C.E. We are a group of college girls who organize retreats...
Hi, Brighteyed! Depending on how many churches are in the area, you might contact the women's ministry leaders in the churches. Some may have a budget for ...
Hi everyone, I've missed you all terribly! It's been a few months since I've posted here, but I'm happy to say it's good to be back! :-) You all have been ...
Hello all, I have just been appointed President of our Church's WM's. I have prayed a lot about it and have been guided to concentrate on Women's health...

Hi, Andrea, When we started such programs in our church, we started by doing "outreach" within the membership to determine what needs existed. Your pastors...
Hi all, I am working on an article for Just Between Us about planning special events and I would love the chance to interview several ladies on their event ...
I would be very honored to help you with your interview. At one time I was the Associate Pastor of an inner-city church near Cincinnati, OH and I was primarily...
