Women’s Ministry One-Minute Devotionals
I spotted a new book that you women’s ministry leaders might enjoy.
It’s called Devotions Galore–Warm-Ups, Wrap-ups and Prayer for Women’s Groups.
If you read my book, Fresh Ideas for Women’s Ministry, you will remember that I’d recommended that you plan a brief fellowship coffee during your women’s ministry. This fellowship time might come between a Bible study or missions class and a ministry project, and it just lasts fifteen minutes. The purpose of these minutes is threefold:
1) Fellowship – informal, relaxed friendship-development, mentoring, laughing, chatting in a large-group setting
2) Snacks – it’s the “meet and eat” thing, but it can be healthy snacks!
3) A very brief devotional. Bring hearts together with a prayer, testimony or Scripture.
The majority of minutes during the coffee break are devoted to fellowship. Announcements and prayer requests are printed or written on a whiteboard. The fellowship time concludes with a one-minute devotional from God’s Word. (That takes lots more effort to plan well than a fifteen-minute devotional!)
I just skimmed through this new book and thought you’d find several great ideas for simple, short, memorable devotions for your women’s ministry group.
Keep on shining!
