We are trying to work on choosing a vision statement for our ladies fellowship group.....

Can someone help me with some ideas?

We want to reach out to our lost women in the community,
To have a closer bond with the women in our church and to reach out to the sick, dying, or hurting ladies in our church and community.

Thanks for your help..

OK I just did a search from one of my favorite websites gotquestions.org and copied their answer...see below.....

I know this is pretty basic (but that's always a good place to start!) but it might give some good scripture and stimulate some ideas! Happy planning Very Happy

God Bless,

Question: "What is Christian ministry?"

Answer: "Ministry" is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning "to serve", or douleuo, meaning "to serve as a slave." In the New Testament, ministry is seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry: He came, not to receive service, but to give it (See Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17).

The Christian should minister by meeting people's needs with love and humility, on Christ's behalf. (See Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12) Christians are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would.

The ministry in our day and age has taken on more of a "vocational" meaning as we call pastors "ministers" to full-time service. Pastors do spend their life in the "ministry", they do "minister" to others, and they can rightly be designated as "ministers", but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry. From the early New Testament churches to the churches of our day, each Christian should be in the ministry of helping others. (See Romans 12:3-8, 10-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-26).

The content of ministry seems to prioritize the ministering in spiritual things, not just practical things. Ministry should certainly place emphasis on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can come to know Him and receive Him as personal Savior, go on to experience Him as Lord of their life, and go even further to know Christ as the essence of their Life. (See John 1:12; Colossians 2:6-7; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:8-10) Ministry can, and should, include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of others. Jesus did, and so should we!

Here is some info I picked up abou Mission Statements from somewhere. Maybe it will help you.

MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT
I have heard this called a Ministry Statement, a Mission Statement, a Purpose Statement, and a Vision Statement. Simply put, this is a paragraph that describes the focus of your ministry.

Here are some good examples of WM Mission Statements:
"The purpose of the Women's Ministry of the ABC Church is to encourage women to become enthusiastic disciples of Jesus Christ, as we each become the woman that God created us to be.
Our goal is that each woman intimately know the heavenly Father, lovingly relate to one another, and advance the gospel in family and community. We accomplish these goals through equipping and outreach events such as Bible studies, creative fellowship meetings, annual retreat, and special events.
For more information on women's ministry activities at ABC Church, please contact us by phone at the church office (number)."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to Celebrate! Ministries ~A ministry designed for women ages 18 to 118~ Our activities, programs and events have been planned with your needs in mind. Our prayer is that you are encouraged on your spiritual journey and enriched by meeting a few friends along the way. Join us this year as we Celebrate!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sisters at Heart is the women's ministry of ABC Church. Our goal is to encourage, nurture and disciple women in the following four areas:
• LOOKING UP - growing in their relationship with God through worship, Bible study and prayer
• LOOKING IN - developing women as emotionally healthy, productive and fulfilled individuals and growing them in their sense of identity and self-worth through practical teaching and accountability
• LOOKING AROUND - growing relationships with other Christians through fellowship activities
• LOOKING OUT - growing their witness and ministry effectiveness through service opportunities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purpose Statement: "The Women's Ministry of ABC Church is designed to provide an opportunity for women to realize their full potential and discover a place of rest in the context of the busy lives which most women lead. The goal of this ministry is for women to encourage one another and to help each other grow in their Christian lives so that they in turn be a blessing to others."
