Ladies Meetings & Theme's
I am going to have a Ladies Meeting at our church. I am looking for a theme. We have done the "tea party" and a Ladies Luau. Does anyone have any ideas for a theme we can use. Looking for something fun, and not to expensive. Hope someone out there in AFF can help....

If you'll PM Sherri, she can send you a copy of the ladies manual from Love & Truth Jackson. They have a monthly meeting and do a different theme each month. Last night was the annual pajama party. Ladies dress in their pj's, drink hot chocolate, have a good time of fellowship and then adjourn to the sanctuary for praise and worship and a message from their ladies minister.

Re: Ladies Meetings & Theme's
There are books available from the United Pentecostal Church publishing division (Pentecostal Publishing House) titled .... "Programs for Ladies Groups" (something like that) ... that have lots of great themes and ideas for womens meetings and events. I've used a number of them and adapted them to fit in with what I was wanting to do or achieve in a particular meeting.
I checked PPH website and noticed that the first two that were written weren't listed - at least I didn't see them - but there is a 3rd one that was published in the last few years that is available for sale. |

Re: Ladies Meetings & Theme's
One way to come up with themes is to use yearly events, national holidays, and seasons of the year for inspiration. Valentines Day, Christmas, New Years, Halloween, Mothers Day, Easter, etc., etc. can be used as events to build a ladies meeting on. So can Fall, Spring, Summer and Winter. You can get inspiration from so many things. Then when you get the inspiration for a theme or focus, build the rest of the meeting around that theme or focus - everything from a group activity that involves all the women to refreshments, decorating for the meeting, and a message, etc.
I've done so many different types of meetings through the years and always include a time of worship, prayer and at least a devotional message or some other type of message in each meeting.
Lots of different ways to go! Womens meetings can be a great way to reach women who don't usually come to church. :thumbsup |
Re: Ladies Meetings & Theme's
we done a meeting about the "Bride of Christ", and done it with a wedding theme. We had an old wedding dress as the "tattered" garment. We tore strips of fabric and stained them with tea, and wrote all the works of the flesh and other "bad" stuff on them (lust, envying, addictions, drinking, lying, jealousy, etc.. etc..) and pinned to the old wedding gown and hung it up. Then we took a new wedding gown, white and pretty, and hung it up on the other side. When we come to Jesus, we are like the old, torn, tattered garment, and he cleans us and gives us our "wedding" garment. We decorated the sanctuary like you would for a wedding, and sang songs about the "Bride", and decorated where we eat like for a reception, with bells, and mints, and candles, stuff like that. Had a lot of fun with it!! ( a sister at the church used her old wedding gown, and her daughters new wedding gown)

Re: Ladies Meetings & Theme's
We have done so many different ones... one thing we did on the ladies tea was... had each lady bring something for the brunch... and also handed out victorian printing paper. Had them type up the recipe.. made a ladies tea cookbook and distributed for all the ladies at the end.
Then we have done the holiday/season themes as Felicity suggested. We are doing a Mary and Martha ladies meeting this month. All the ladies are bringing a cleaning item wrapped but something nice... or something well... Something to help declutter our lives. I have went and got some little organizational baskets... and included a few cleaning items in them. There are so many things you can do |
