News on Resuming Women's Group 2009-2019, Reinvented!


Hello ladies,

A few of us enjoyed some discussion, prayer and planning at the kick-off meeting yesterday. Thank you Robin for all the work you did setting it up!

Here's the new proposed agenda for this year's Women's Group:

Tuesday nights (twice a month? TBA very soon) - Fellowship Night
This group will be probably be the same as what we've always done, some prayer requests/praise, maybe some Bunco, and just enjoying fellowship time with each other, a "get away from life and spend time with the girls" night!

Saturday mornings (monthly? TBA very soon) - Bible Study Group
This will a time of digging into scripture, prayer and a time for letting our hair down spiritually with each other so we can be each other's listeners, mentors and come alongside to love and pray with each other. This could be a Beth Moore study, or something similar.

Each of these groups will be led by a team of two who will lead the group in deciding where, how often to meet, what to do within that group, etc.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING A LEADER OF ONE OF THESE, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION.

These two groups will meet separately but we are ALL encouraged and invited to attend both when/if you can as they will meet different needs. Each group will decide how often to meet, what they want to do, etc. You don't have to attend only one, and you can attend both every time or as you are able.

The hope is that we will remain one large group (along with the women in the sewing group) and occasionally get together for small retreats or an occasional large group gathering to keep us all bonded as Bridge Women. It will be up to the dual leaders of each group to help the groups get the retreats/get-togethers started in planning mode. BUT...that doesn't meant the leaders are expected to do it all, they are just the coordinator's. The women of Bridge are one large group and we want all of us (and anyone who attends but doesn't attend Bridge)to be in on the helping and planning so the work, and the fun, is spread evenly.

Don't just read this and move on, please leave your comments, suggestions for events, and your desire to get involved in the comments below so everyone is up to speed. We hope to get both groups going again very soon so let's look forward to our year!

This is very exciting to hear after missing Saturday's meeting. I would love to join with another lady and lead the Tuesday nights. I look forward to talking with you ladies and getting our meetings together again. I miss all of you and enjoyed our little girls night the other night! I also would love to be a part of the Saturdays as I would love to dig deeper! I am anxious to hear what bible study you are going to do as I would love to do it too, even if I cannot attend on Saturdays! A blog would be great where we can share our thoughts and prayers with eachother even when not in attendance. I think this will help bridge some things together as well!

Ditto, Stephanie. I can tell you now that I will not be able to attend Saturdays most of the time. Well, I could but working F/T if I did you would wonder why The Wilburn Family always stinks. That would be due to the dirty laundry we would be wearing. LOL. J/K I may be able to attend occasionally. I too would join in helping Stephanie lead the Tuesday Nights. I have tons of plans and ideas already.
