Women's Retreat
A church recently held a workshop/retreat for women 18+ to explore giving God priority in our hearts. Though our human tendency may be to focus our attention and affection on things other than God, the gospel offers hope and promises freedom from this diversion. They met to explore the objects, symptoms, and consequences of our idolatry and to see how the gospel provides the keys to victory. Your church may find it handy to use this planner for a similar retreat.

Send this solicitation to your church members and encourage them to bring the entire family, friends and neighbors.
Church Clean-up Sign-Ups
Churches are a place where our spirits are lifted to a higher plane. Many churches have regular janitorial services, yet still need more help with detailed organization and specialized care. Use this sign-up sheet to coordinate volunteers each week to keep the church spotless. Volunteers might look for these things: Is the holy water full? Are the missal books tidy? Were any items left behind from the parishioners attending the last service? Do the flowers look fresh? Have the candles burned to the stubs? Read how one woman finds peace and joy in helping clean her church http://tinyurl.com/c2urlx.
Church Ministry Team Volunteers
Encourage your church members to get more involved - from Bible Studies to AWANA Leadership. Send this list to your members soliciting their service in your church's outreach activities. In fact you could try a Drama Ministry as a visual and fun way to communicate your faith. Here's how: http://tinyurl.com/apcsmr.
