women's ministry

Today we'll finally begin to look at ministry to women, specifically Bible studies.

But first, a word from our sponsor: Amy Beach (1867-1944). Amy began taking piano at age four, and by thirteen was a published composer (yeah, one of those child prodigies--funny, you don't hear about child prodigies as often in women as you do in men). She spent her early life focusing on performance but at eighteen shifted to composition. She composed over 150 works, many of which were performed by high-profile organizations. Her style was marked by lyricism, intensity, and passion.

In honor of Women's History Month, for this series of women in ministry and ministering to women (which is broader than women's ministry), I'm titling each one with important women in history.

Because of my music background, I'm prophesying that most will be musicians. But who knows?

Did you know that this month is Women's History Month? It's fitting that we discuss women in ministry this month and the purpose of ministry for women.

So continuing the thread from yesterday...

I have a group of women of different age, experience, and life position who are getting ready to begin blogging about women's ministry (and women in ministry). What would you like to see us blog about? The door's wide open. 

Let me be honest with you. I've never been passionate about women's ministry. Not specifically. I'm passionate about encouraging people (challenging people?) to participate in God's kingdom work, which means being passionate about people, which sometimes means finding myself in women's ministry (but also means finding myself in young adult ministry, youth group ministry, missions, artists' groups, small group ministry, singles' ministry--you get the picture).
