So ironically, most of the online communities that exist around Women's Ministries are based on the ministry activities of one specific church. I am sure with some really deep digging there are some support groups, but I think because of the sensitive nature of the information that happens in small groups it is not easy to share online.
So, being the crafty person I am ... I made one of my own:
www.hopeparkwomen.weebly.com
After building it, I rolled it our publicly on Wednesday 10/12/11 ... on 10/13/2011 the site had 175 unique visitors. All of the prayer requests posted on the prayer page have been sent in via the contact form since that opening.
In terms of access, it gives me the ability to observe the participants and people they are referring to the site outside of sessions. It does help me know their needs more, something that benefits this study but also my ability to be there for them!

Assignment Eight
I am studying the culture of a women's bible study.
There are some simple terms, and some specific to this group.
Women's Ministry: A group of women from all ages that come together on a regular basis for friendship building and growing closer to God.
God: The creator of the earth, the father to all mankind, and the one and only that desires a close relationship with us.
Bible: A book that is the word of God
Study: A book that is written to study the Bible and God, specifically in this case for women.
Group: The small group of women that come together to read the study together and build friendships.
Facilitator: The person(s) that are facilitating the small group and leading the conversation to focus on the study.
Leader: The person(s) in charge of the ministry operations overall, and supporting the Facilitators.
The Onion: The large group room where all of the small groups come together at the start of the time together.
I am so positive this is going to be a running list of terms!!!!
