More About TWOS

Majority of the sisters from our Church have stayed behind after the last Sunday Service, on 14 Jul 07, for a short briefing on our desire to start a women's support group in Church. The following is a quick summary:

1. The Group
- The Women of Substance (TWOS)
- We want to be women of substance and excellence for God

2. The Purpose
- to encourage sisters to grow in Christ, to serve in the church, and to harvest for Christ (reach out to other ladies outside our church)
- to provide bonding and support for one another spiritually, emotionally and socially
- to close the age gap amongst sisters and provide mentoring for the younger ones
- to pray for the church and the leaders

3. The Methodology
- have regular fellowship meetings to study the word of God (pertaining to women's roles)
- organize adhoc activities/talks for ladies, including our female friends
- do home visits to sisters in and outside the church when the needs arise
- create a "TWOS" blog for all members to share testimonies or things they learned from God, and to announce events.

4. The Meetings
- Our 1st "TWOS" meeting will be held on 11 Aug 07 (Sat) at 3.15 p.m. at Alpha & Omega (subject to change)
- Subsequent meetings will be on every 1st Sat of the month at 3.15 p.m. (after church worship practice, basing on majority feedback but may change sometimes if it clashes with major Church activities)

5. What the Group Is Not
- not for personal gain, such as personal business transactions or selling
- not for gossiping or sharing negative views
- not for power or status striving
- not a threat to the brothers nor 'anti-male'

6. Personal/Spiritual Development Opportunities
The followings are ways you may help to make TWOS a success. In serving and helping you will learn to develop yourselves and other sisters into women of substance.

1. Chairpersons - to ensure smooth meeting operation
2. Worship Leaders - to chair and lead short worship, just 1 or 2 songs during meetings
3. Musicians - to work with worship leaders
4. Refreshment Chiefs - to provide simple light drinks
5. Liaison Persons - to help contact sisters for meetings, activities, etc
6. Prayer Warriors - to specially pray for the meetings, activities, needs
7. Programme Planners - to organize special bonding activities outside TWOS meetings
8. Study Facilitators - to lead small bible study group discussions during TWOS meetings
9. Mentors - to commit to mentor certain sisters for an agreed period
10. Treasurers - to keep account of offerings or collections for activities
11. Home Hosts - for TWOS meetings, if necessary (please specify day/time available)
12. Blog Contributors - to share at TWOS blog your thoughts, testimonies or things you learned that are beneficial for sisters (twice a month or more)
13. Blog Readers - to read the sharing or testimonies of TWOS blog contributors and offer comments or encouragements for them and others

Finally, please pray for this group and our sisters, that Satan will have no chance to attack us through negativity, disbelief, doubts, fears, complacencies, or indifference. Yes, our worse enemy may be our INDIFFERENCE.

Please feel free to email us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions on the above.

May the Lord bless all of you richly.

Cheers!
