The first ever women's ministry breakfast was held this morning. Over 120 women attended the breakfast at the Plaza Mirador Hotel. Each woman received a rose at the door and had her picture taken; a slide show of the pictures played while we visited. The tables were beautifully decorated in lilac and white. Table leaders helped everyone get to know each other as we played an ice breaker game.
The buffet was delicious. A women's trio lead the worship music after the meal. Ena read Max Lucado's story, "You Are Special" aloud and then each woman received a copy of it.
The women were challenged to participate in ministry opportunities in the church, including the prayer ministry, discipleship ministry, mentoring ministry and others. The new Bible study/quilt ministry (Hilo, Aguja y Biblia) was also introduced. I took my the five quilts for "show and tell." Over 30 women indicated that they were interested in attending. Now we have to figure out how to find a day and time that will work for everyone. We are thinking that class size will need to be limited to 10 women. Please pray for this new ministry which will likely start the end of April.
The breakfast was a huge success; future plans for the ministry include small group events each month and larger events every 3-4 months.
