It is time to go Back To School! Do you have the things needed on your supply list?

Box of Crayons

Always be aware that your women's ministry is made up of all types of ladies. They come in every color, every age, and are all at different stages and crossroads in their lives so make activities and things to try to target their needs.

Pens and Pencils

Write lists and planning information out. Make a calendar of activities for the year. Write out monthly and yearly goals for your women's ministry.

Paper/Notebook

Always carry a small notebook or have a pad of paper handy to write down ideas that may come to you at the least excepted moment. You never know when a great idea to enhance your women's ministry will pop up.

Books

Remember to revolve everything in your women's ministry around the Bible (the best Book). Use God's Word as the guide.

Glue

Plan activities that will encourage fellowship between the ladies in your group. This will be the glue that binds your ladies together.

Scissors

Work on cutting out all unnecessary things in your women's ministry such as bad attitudes and gossip.

Ruler

Make sure you measure or evaluate the progress of your women's ministry from time to time. Has attendance at activities grown? Do your ladies fellowship more than before? Do the ladies in your group seem to be growing spiritually?

Stapler

Keep placing the staple of prayer into your women's ministry. It will keep things from falling apart.
