Women any age

Women’s ministry is so needed. I’d like to see ALL ages to be cared for, wanting to see disciples made and leaders of ALL ages raised up and put in positions- many older people feel cast aside or overlooked and that the focus is only on raising up young leaders. I would like to see the Pastoral staff interacting more with the congregation. There are no Sunday school, Wednesday services or Sunday evening services anymore. This leaves us less connected to the Pastor and each other. These services promoted Bible study, interaction time, ministering to the Lord and each other.

Abuse/violence
Educational

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable
