Taken from Titus 2, here is the chance to learn from today's women about "good things",
covering topics from how to handle conflict to showing how to cut up a fresh chicken.

5-Part Meeting Format
Meetings are held monthly except for November and December, which are crazy busy holiday months. Each meeting starts at 8:30 and finishes by 11:00 am and has 5 basic parts to them, each lead by a different woman.
Demo: Showing how to "do" something, allowing 1 or 2 volunteers to "try it as you teach it". ex: cut up a fresh chicken
Lesson: Teaching a Bible principle or life lesson using a key Bible passage. ex: Managing our Mouth, James 3
Testimony: An example/story using the topic from the lesson and how this woman rightly handled a situation that happened to her. ex: being the victim of gossip
Group Activity: Engage all participants to reinforce the lesson. ex: Role playing, gossiper and the discrete
Prayer: I think this one is obvious, but here's our format. Hand out prayer cards, assign a leader, break into groups, write requests on the slips and give to person on your left or the leader. Pray aloud for each request. Each takes a request home as a prayer reminder until the next meeting. (exchange phone numbers to "check up" on the change between meetings") Next meeting: review answered prayer.

Good Things Defined:
It is believed the apostle Paul newly coined this Greek phrase as it has not been found in other Greek literature before his time. Meaning, “good teachings”, Paul uses it in his letter to a younger pastor, Titus, about the organizational structure of a church. Paul lists examples of member responsibilities that typify Christian love and which help churches build unity and fellowship . In this section of the letter to Titus, older women are to teach good things to the younger women, emphasizing the application of practical living especially in the home.
