Women in Our Church Family
Two Topics (Women and Prayer; Gender Discrimination?)
1.) Women and Prayer
“Is it Ok for a Christian woman to…..”
- Participate in a group prayer when men are present (Life Group, Small Bible Class, Elders/Staff Prayer time, etc)
- Offer or lead an individual prayer when men are present (Life Group, Small Bible Class, Elders/Staff Prayer time, etc)
- Offer or lead an individual prayer when men are present (Larger Bible Class....Auditorium/Fellowship Hall) (prior to a Large Fellowship meal)
- Offer or lead an individual prayer when men are present (Sunday morning worship)
- Be available for and pray with another individual during a worship assembly
Can Prayer be separated from the discussion of Women’s Role in the Church?
