I just got my email invitation to our church Women’s Ministry Spring Day. We get to hear a great female speaker minister to us and worship together for an entire day. I look forward to it every year. Now that my kids are getting older, I am excited to take advantage of women’s ministry events near me.
Are you involved in your local women’s ministry?
I think women’s ministry is so important. As women, it is not unusual to put ourselves last. Our husbands, our kids, our church, our friends – they all become a priority and we often put ourselves, our health, physical and spiritual, on the back burner. But, women’s ministry gives us all a chance to be ministered to and encouraged by those who get us — other women.
I put together a gift basket, I’d like to donate to my church’s women’s ministry department. At our next event, it’d be nice to either honor a special women or have a raffle ticket at the door. I think any woman would love getting this great gift basket featuring products especially for women. I’ve even created an encouraging quotes printable that you can add to your small gifts.
Also, in honor of women’s ministry I wanted to share some great quotes for encouragement I’ve come across online. Don’t you love positive quotes?

Do you have favorite encouraging quotes or Bible verse?
I’ve always loved this encouraging scripture ==> Psalm 139: 14, so I made my own printable tag for this women’s ministry gift basket.
And if you’d like to also print this encouraging quotes gift tag, feel free to do so. Just open the image below in a new window for the full hi-resolution image. It is 2000×2000 pixels and you can print it in any size you’d like. I printed the above tag in 3.5 x 5 inches on my printer.
Pin it for later:

Elisabeth says
I love these! Especially the Act, and God will act one.
LaVonne says
That is a great one, Elisabeth! Proactive faith – like Abraham.
Dede says
There are many quotes here that I’ve never heard. I didn’t know that Patricia Heaton is a Christian. I enjoy watching her on TV/movies so this made me like her even more.
LaVonne says
I don’t know who it is, Dede. I’ll have to Google her 🙂 But, yes I love her quote.
Traci@tracesoffaith says
LaVonne, What a fun post! I am our churches’ women’s ministry coordinator and I’m always like “Why wouldn’t women want to join us?” You are right. We do ministry in seasons. I loved the quotes!
LaVonne says
Thanks, Traci and many blessings on your ministry to women in your church!
Sarah Jane says
Love the Psalm 139 quote!
LaVonne says
Thanks, Sarah. So do I! Thanks for visiting. Come back by anytime!
Amanda says
Women’s ministry is SO important. I think a huge majority of women don’t realize the need they have for fellowship with other like-minded women. Without it, I couldn’t live out the scripture you listed: And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. -Galatians 6:9 Thanks for encouraging us!
LaVonne says
I am excited to be settled down, not traveling for hubby’s work, and able to get involved in church ministry again. I missed it greatly! Thanks for coming by Amanda. Come back by anytime!
Mary from Mission to Save says
LOVE this idea! There are several women in my church that are the life line for the women’s ministry. I might just put together a few mini baskets to encourage them personally. (and that printable tag is nice too, thanks!)
LaVonne says
Yes, I think Family Christian offers the perfect products for those who work diligently in Women’s Ministry. And thank you for coming by to comment. Come back by anytime!
Heidi Bee says
Lovely post! Thanks so much for the terrific quotes. One of my favorite verses is And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:22). It is so encouraging that He cares about what we care about!!
LaVonne says
Heidi, thank you. I almost put that verse in this list. I love it too!
Marie says
Love this!!
thanks for encouraging others!
