Throughout
my ministr(ies), we have had strong women’s groups. One Women’s Association found itself in the curious position of being the only Women’s Association left in the United Women’s Association. I have called women’s groups the “backbone” of the Church -- and so they are, if one pages through any Church minutes. Often they are elderly – however, it has been shown that a strong component of elderly people – on condition that this is balanced with other age groups – promotes growth in the Church.
OBSERVATION: Since this is, in a sense, an educational blog, a potential problem with older women is that they may become downhearted – one might say negative – yet with spiritual encouragement, this is always overcome. The photo was taken in October 2012.
