Newsletter Topic Suggestions

Here is a list of suggestions for your Women's Ministry newsletter. You may be surprised at the places you'll find a good tidbit of news.

For more information on Women's Ministry Newsletters, see the Developing Newsletters For WM Page.

1. Prayer Requests.
   
   
2. Birthdays.
   
   
3. Anniversaries.
   
   
4. Recipes.
   
   
5. Poems.
   See if you have talented women within your church that write.
   
   
6. Articles.
   Make them things of interest to your women. Get permission to use the article from the author prior to using and make a copyright statement for them at the bottom of the article.
   
   
7. Stories.
   
   
8. Profile of Christian Women.
   They can be women from within your church, a missionary, a pastor's wife or speaker. They don't have to be famous people but you could share Christian women who made a difference such as Fannie Crosby or Elizabeth Elliot. You could also profile women of the bible. There's so much we can learn from these women.
   
   
9. A Hymn or Song History.
   
   
10. Sayings.
    My favorite source for sayings is from The Blomberg Family's collected resource of Church Signs and Sayings. When you go through these just be aware that some of them are worded for use on outside Church Signs. It is the best resource I've found.
    
    Sign Sermons (www.signsermons.com)
    
    
11. Special Bible Verses.
    
    
12. Tips of Interest To Women.
    They can be on things such as cleaning, parenting, women's health, gardening, sewing, canning, seasonal (such as sun skin care for summer, decorating for Christmas, etc.).
    
    
13. Fun or Serious Statistics.
    
    
14. Joke or a "funny".
    
    
15. Church Announcements.
    Only put special announcements from your church in your Women's Newsletter preferably the ones that relate to women. Don't make your newsletter just an advertisement for your church functions. You probably already have a bulletin for that. Make your newsletter something special for the ladies in your group. They don't want to reread the church bulletin when they pick up the newsletter.
    
    
16. Recipes.
    Those from your own ladies or from families within your church are the best kind.
    
    
17. List Leaders and Committee Members.
    You may not have room in each issue but from time to time list your Women's Ministry leaders and their positions.
