Key Women for 2013

/0 Comments/in , , ,

Key Women is moving to a new time slot – 8:30am on the first Tuesday of every month at Bedfordview. It will now only take place in the morning (no more afternoon slot) to create more space for the ladies to get to know each other.

Key Women is also launching at South Side. It will be taking place on the first Saturday of every second month in a home in the afternoon (3pm). There is also an additional theme of “chocolate” which sounds tempting!

The theme for Key Women 2013 is Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit: Living Beyond Yourself. As Col Meeske explains, the theme is about developing a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit and then living out his character in our every day lives, impacting the world beyond ourselves.

“Women need to see just how key they are in God’s mission to the world. Every woman has a part to play and has a purpose for their lives. We are key in unlocking the presence of Jesus into the environments we find ourselves in – no matter where we are,” she says.

The Bedfordview meetings will now take place at the Fresh Ground coffee shop.

“All are welcome – regardless of age or culture. As per Titus 2, older women can teach the younger women how to love their husbands and their families, while the younger women can teach the older women how to be less conservative and to risk a bit more,” Col says.

Mums & Munchkins will also be joining Key Women on the first Tuesday for every month, to facilitate the ladies all getting to know each other better.

The last year has seen some great fruit at Key Women and 2013 promises to be even better.

Key Women

Key Women Ladies’ Health: A Fabulous Ladies Evening

Written by Justine Engelbrecht

On 9 March, Cornerstone Bedfordview hosted a successful evening on Ladies’ Health, where key issues such as pregnancy, PMS, menopause and puberty were discussed with the main focus being on menopause.

Colette, who organised the event, feels that it’s essential for all women, from teenagers to adults, to understand their bodies.

“As women, our daily lives and the interactions that we have with society are impacted by our hormones. We go through all sorts of changes through our lifetimes. Ladies’ Health was organised to provide women of all ages with the opportunity to gain greater understanding of their bodies and empower them to have greater control over how they cope with day-to-day life,” she says.

Dr Percy Moodley, a well qualified and respected obstetrician and gynaecologist, was the main speaker for the event. His talk was simple and easy to understand as well as being humorous. He included his wealth of knowledge and his experience in the field.

He mapped out the changes in a woman from infant to puberty to menopause and into old age and spoke about what to expect at every stage of your life, the hormonal changes and the health concerns.

Dr Percy was gracious enough to spend a lot of time after his talk answering questions for a whole queue of women; and with aerobics to start and prizes to finish, it was a fun evening.

Adele closed off the evening with a message that no matter what we are facing in life, God wants us to come to Him and he can solve any problem, heal any illness and He wants to be part of our life to help us!

It was a fabulous ladies evening.

Dr Percy Moodley (Mb.ChB) is a well qualified and respected obstetrician and gynaecologist from KwaZulu Natal. Dr Moodley has numerous fellowships and many years in private practice. He is also a husband and the proud father of three children. His special interest lies in the way in which hormones influence women’s health and the way in which women can manage their hormones. Dr Moodley believes that there are a variety of lifestyle adjustments that can be made and treatments available that can enable women of all ages to cope with hormonal changes throughout their lives.

Key Women – 1 March 2012 Report-Back

Adele Herbert discussed the journey of Sarah with the ladies that attended Key Women on the 1st March; the emphasis was on being a ‘Woman of Faith’. She encouraged us to live in the world in a supernatural way and to realise that God is in the little things. She also emphasised the importance of putting on the Armour of God every day.

Consider Proverbs 13 vs. 12: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”

Sarah’s life is a true example of what the Lord says, happens. We need to have patience knowing that God’s plan is the best plan, God knows best. God sees through our present faults to our future faith. God sees us as women of faith, His love will never dry up, always being a overflowing well; God is merciful.

Despite Sarah’s imperfections, Sarah was a ‘Princess of God’; despite our imperfections we are ‘Princesses of God’. God is always true to His Word and God is faithful and trustworthy.

Read about Sarah in Genesis 11 – 15 and Hebrews 11.

Key women is held on the first Friday of every month and is a must for every woman. Take two hours out of your working month to be inspired by the remarkable Women of the Bible.
