#COVMW Dep’t of Women Ministries in the ECC

“A woman needs to form 6 relationships in 6 months for her to connect to a church” -Rev Ruth Hill, Exec Minister of Women Ministries #COVMW

Some thoughts:

Three things women want:

1. Someone to care
2. A place to belong
3. Significance

The Four Gifts women bring to the church:

1. MAGNET: Entry points into the life of the church
2. GLUE: Holding the social fabric of the community together
3. FEMALE VITAMINS: Nurturing relationships within the church
4. KLEENEX: Empathy(izing ability)

The Dep’t of Women Ministries in the ECC provide the following:

1. Retreats
2. Ministry coaching
3. Advocacy for Victims of Abuse
