The purpose of Women’s Ministries is to minister to the women of our church and to reach out to those who are “not-yet-members”.

Wonderful is the mission of the (women) wives and mothers and the younger women workers. If they will, they can exert an influence for good to all around them. By modesty in dress and circumspect deportment, they may bear witness to the truth in its simplicity. They may let their light so shine before all, that others will see their good works and glorify their Father which is in heaven. A truly converted woman will exert a powerful transforming influence for good. —Manuscript 91, 1908.

Women are encouraged to minister one-to-one. Make certain that every individual is made welcome and comfortable at your programmes. If you expect 10 “not-yet-members”, make sure that you have at least 10 of your church women present to mingle with and befriend them. Plan to have someone sit with each guest and to begin to build relationships. And if men come, especially welcome them and make them comfortable! Women’s Ministries is inclusive.
