Your sign-ups are lagging. Last week only 2 women attended. The retreat’s a month out, but you’re less than half full.
I’m always on the look-out for a fresh icebreaker to add to my toolbox. This Either/Or Icebreaker game is quick, easy, and great for all sizes of groups.
As a women’s ministry leader, you’ll have many opportunities to divide your women into groups. Whether it’s for Bible study or a women’s ministry event, relationships blossom when women are seated in circles and not rows.

How would you describe your women’s ministry team? Grab a pen and make a quick list. Be as honest as you can. What words did you use?
Our women are being inundated with information, advice, posts, and quotes on the internet, social media, and through books that just isn’t Biblical.
