Leading Over the Summer

"For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Hebrews 6:10

Vacations, children out of school, company from out of town and other activities seem to overwhelm us during the summer season. It is vital however, to stay in touch with the women under your leadership regardless of the distractions.

Suggestions include:
-working out a schedule for meeting, visiting or mentoring with the group, continue meeting if only one or two women are able to attend
-making some personal contacts via note, email or phone on a regular basis
-praying with and for them consistently
-plan a vision sharing meeting for early August and celebrate

Jesus is our example of a leader and teacher when we observe his time with the disciples. He took time away with them, he taught, he modeled and he encouraged them in an on-going fashion.
