Event Idea: Cows and Chicks
college girls

Outreach to College Girls

This was a fun event to welcome college aged girls into our women's ministry. The decorations were black and white (cow) and for the meal we served chicken (chicken).

Thus... Cows and Chicks!

We opened with the meal and then had a time of praise and worship followed by a speaker who focused on a topic relevant to college-aged women.

We had small group and Bible study sign-up sheets and information available to help plug the young women into groups with older women who had similar interests.

Several of the women collected small gift items like phone cards, quarters, note pads, fun pens, etc. We created gift bags for the girls to bless them... but the true blessing was ours!

Submitted by: Holly Smith of Monument, CO
Church: Event was held at Central Baptist Church in Marshall, TX
Church Size: Between 250-500

WomensMinistry.Net Asks You...
helping hands

Last week we share a question from a women's ministry leader who is looking for some help in a specific area. Here is her question:

What are some project ideas or mission tasks for taking women's ministry out of the church and into the community?

The following list is a compilation of many of the ideas that were sent it.

Tutoring - at a local elementary or middle school.

Meals for the Homeless - sack lunches handed out once a month and special dinners with gifts at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Outreach to Teachers - meals, cookies and other treats in the teacher's lounge. Another idea was to collect classroom items and create huge gift baskets for each of the teachers.

Habitat for Humanity - many chapters have an "all woman build." Women in the community can come together and help a family!

Babysitting co-op to give single moms a break.

Helping Hands - outreach to women in shelters. Women in your church provide their expertise in a one day outreach to these women. Example: hairdressing, manicures, resume writing, job interview skills, computer 101, etc...

Practical Acts of Kindness - community outreach meeting practical needs like mowing yards, painting houses, grocery shopping, errand running, and boxes of helpful items like housecleaning supplies, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner,etc.

Fan Drive - collecting and distributing box fans in the summer.

Lovin' From the Oven - frozen meals and desserts with the recipe and a scripture verse attached - taken to families in need.

"Just Add Water" Gifts in a Jar - soup mix, cookie mix and hot chocolate mix in pretty quart glass jars. Attach instructions and scripture verse. Distribute personally or donate to local food pantry.

Women's Health Fair - host a day where women can get information about health issues. Offer blood pressure testing, diabetes screening, etc. and workshops on heart health, exercise, nutrition, etc. (These can also be great welcome gifts for visitors.)

Retirement Home Outreach - visit elderly and spend time visiting, reading, singing, painting toe nails, etc.

Church Booth at Community Events - consider investing in a small canopy and having a booth at local fairs and events. Have small gifts to give away with information about your church/ministry and a drawing for a door prize if you want to collect contact information.

Knots of Love - make polar fleece blankets to distribute through Salvation Army and other charitable organizations.

 

Thanks Ladies! As always, you provided an abundant response!

In Him... Robyne Beaubien, Editor    robyne@womensministry.net
