The United Church of God Women's Enrichment Weekends began over 25 years ago in Spokane, Washington. From there, organized Women’s Enrichment Events began spreading throughout the country as women heard about and experienced their positive and spiritual benefits. As opportunities for women continue to expand into new areas, many questions are asked about how to get started and be organized. Although there is no single model that fits the needs of every area, we have developed some general guidelines and suggestions to provide a framework for expanding these opportunities in a unified manner.
The purpose and intent of Women's Enrichment Events is to create an environment in which women actively help one another grow to greater spiritual maturity through:
- Sharing valuable spiritual lessons
- Discussing practical application of Godly principles.
- Helping others by sharing personal experiences and encouraging one another in our struggles.
- Developing stronger bonds of unity and friendship.
The objectives are achieved through a combination of elements that generally include practical presentations or workshops, interactive discussions, uplifting music, and time for spiritual conversations, reflection and fellowship.
As you are planning a Women's Enrichment Event, it may be helpful to check out past weekends to see the variety of speakers and topics that have been presented.
Please note that after receiving pastoral approval, individuals who are planning to host a Women's Enrichment Event in their area are encouraged to download and review the following documents:
