Connecting women around the Word

WELS Women’s Ministry exists to nurture, encourage, and equip women to faithfully use their gifts for service in God’s kingdom. One of the ways it equips Christian women is through its webinars, which are offered multiple times per year. 

“The webinars continue to be a platform for women across our synod to share what they’ve been doing in their churches, homes, and communities,” says Mrs. Rachel Halldorson, a member of the WELS Women’s Ministry Executive Board and host of the webinars. “Their passion and love for their Savior shines through and inspires those watching and listening to apply it to their own lives and situations.”

During the upcoming webinar on April 10, The Power of Connecting Women in Christ, webinar panelists will share strategies to foster deeper, genuine connections by meeting women where they are at in their seasons of life. Halldorson notes: “The loneliness epidemic is real and threatens the body of Christ mentally and spiritually. The connections made through social media can have a role but also be a facade. We need each other in real life. God has given us Christian sisters (and brothers) as gifts!” 

During the webinars, women from throughout the country and beyond learn from panelists, connect with each other via the chat feature, ask questions in the Q&A, and have access to resources that help equip them to share Jesus with other women in their congregation and with those who may not yet know Jesus. 

As a way to personally connect with others during the webinar, attendees are encouraged to set up “watch parties” so small groups of women can gather in person to view the webinar together. “The webinars are not meant to be a how-to for everyone watching because each situation is unique. Our intent is that viewers will be energized by the excitement and stories of what has worked for our panelists,” Halldorson says. “Watch parties offer women the perfect opportunity to take that inspiration and immediately discuss how they might apply it in their own context. Plus, it’s just a lot more fun!”
