As some of you may know, I'm getting prepped to start a young women's Bible study group at our church. We found over the last few years that our young women weren't plugged-in anywhere at church, except for the nursery. Any most of the time, they are reluctant to work there too. (I don't blame them!) After you've been with your own kids for hours on end, the last thing you want to do is spend half your Sunday morning watching somebody else's kid.
So, I gave up my job as the Nursery Director to get this ministry started. We have an established Women's Ministry at our church that is quite active. However, they complained that the younger women never join them at their events. They said they gear their studies to reach all ages, and they go to conferences that they feel with witness to each age. Except nobody under 35 years old goes on the trips.
I'm hopefully going to change that. I've gotten some great feedback from our younger women and they are excited about getting together. Our first meeting is next Tuesday morning and we'll also meet on Tuesday nights. I'll be a busy lady studying for each session, but it will be worth it.
Please pray for God to bless this ministry and the women who join it!
