Welcome to the Good Things Women’s Ministry.

Women have many sources to go to and learn about women’s issues; Oprah, Martha, food programs, famous doctors, etc. Some of the most trusted sources, however, are right in your neighborhood and in your church. In fact, you probably see mentors every week. Plus, you will likely get Biblical answers and examples of good Christian living from them.

I'm talking about the women in your church. Now, I know you are probably conjuring up an image of Mrs. So-and-so, who you don't like, interrupts when you are talking, and is always telling you when your kids are being bad. You and I both know that she is not who I'm talkin' about. The ones I'm referring to are those who are often silent servants. This is a one who has the wisdom and experience to know when to open her mouth and give advice. She could share volumes of how to get along with knuckle-heads, give examples of how to agree to disagree, and even how best to take care of your rhubarb.

She's the one who may or may not be married. But, she has endured and has suffered long with a battle of cancer, an ugly divorce, or a special needs child. Or perhaps she makes the best yummy sandwich in the church. (Mildred, in her 80's, makes absolutely the best chicken salad. I may need to wrestle her to the ground and threaten to take away her Red Hat, however, to get her recipe).

There are women in the church and community who I want to tap into and learn from their experience. And, especially learn from their mistakes if they are willing to share them. These women have a compassion to share because they don't want what's happened to them to happen to you. They are also the ones with calloused camel knees because of the hours of praying they do. These are the ones who are willing to carry your hurts to the One who has the power to heal and forgive. These secrets of life are such good things for us to know and my heart wants to gather the uniqueness of truth before it is no longer available.

I invite you to join us as a new women's ministry rolls out and is modeled on the command in Titus 2 for women to teach women Good Things. This blog will tell about the women and the activities at a monthly gathering. It will reflect an evangelical and conservative audience and views. The women involved will find this a support group and place to come to see how this network of old and young friends share Good Things.
