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.
If you’ve been doing Bible study for any length of time, you’ve watched your women’s Bible study attendance dwindle as each week passes.
The group starts of strong and healthy, but one by one the group members start to drop off like flies…
Several months back a Facebook friend of mine, Deb Potts, mentioned that she was finishing up her book “Making Peace with Prickly People”. (Affiliate links)
The title grabbed my attention.
I personally think leading or facilitating a Bible Study is one of the most challenging roles God can call us to fill. Not only must you be prepared for each week’s study, but you must prayerfully navigate the personalities and preferences of your group members.
Is your head swimming just thinking about the first day of Bible study?
From the logistical to the practical to building relationships, there’s a lot to do and a lot to remember!
Name tags – you either love them or you hate them!
Often a group reaches a point and wonders, is it safe to put away the name tags?
Small Group and Bible Study leaders have many responsibilities, but the greatest of all is to pray for the women in their group.
Prayer prepares you for the different personalities in your group.
