Getting Started with The Life of a Single Mom

Question 1 of 10

What are the two non-negotiable aspects that must be provided at each single mom group meet-ing?

Playtime for children that include prizes.
A full sermon that includes worship music.
Childcare and a prepared meal
A budget meeting and solicitation for donations for future meetings.

Question 2 of 10

Why is providing childcare and a meal at each single mom group so vital?

Because for most single moms just getting to the meeting is hard enough. By providing childcare and meals, the additional burdens are lifted from the mom so that she can enjoy fellowship.
Because it will give volunteers in the church a task to handle.
Because single moms will only attend the group meeting if free services are offered.
Because the church needs to increase its small group attendance, and these as-pects encourage single moms to attend.

Question 3 of 10

Why is it important to have your single mom group meeting at a time when traditional church ser-vices and other small groups DO NOT meet?

Because the church is too busy during these times to accommodate another group.
There is too much competition between other meetings, and the single mom group’s attendance would suffer.
Single moms aren’t welcomed to attend traditional church service meetings and need to have a separate time slot to meet.
Most single moms do not attend church, and it can be intimidating to attend a traditional church service.

Question 4 of 10

Single mom groups should be held twice a month on weekends and NOT on weekdays because:

The church doesn’t allow groups to gather throughout the week for fellowship, and only allows bi-monthly meetings.
Attending a group twice a month provides balance in maintaining the relationships within the group, while obligations throughout the week could hinder single moms from attending.
Only paid leaders can lead small groups during the week and meet more than twice a month.
Most volunteers are not interested in assisting more than twice a month or helping throughout the week.

Question 5 of 10

What is the 30/30/30 rule that each meeting should follow?

30 minutes of singing, 30 minutes of dancing, and 30 minutes of reflection.
30 minutes of writing scriptures, 30 minutes of reciting scripture, and 30 minutes of testing how many scriptures each single mom remembers.
30 minutes of food and fellowship, 30 minutes of teaching and testimony, and 30 minutes of small group discussion.
30 minutes of gossiping, 30 minutes of watching the highlights from a prime-time television show, 30 minutes of discussing your favorite parts of the television show.

Question 6 of 10

The three critical areas that your single mom group should discuss regularly are:

Parenting, finances, and health and wellness
Dieting advice, how to lose weight fast, and gym memberships.
Fashion tips, makeup tips, and how to cut your own hair.
Celebrity gossip, newest tabloids, and the best shows to binge-watch.

Question 7 of 10

What types of materials should be used during each teaching session of your single mom group?

Materials that are provided directly from The Church and the Single Mom or materials that target single moms specifically.
Any materials that cover a woman’s journey with Christ.
Materials that encourage women to get married quickly to relieve their financial burdens.
Any material that covers parenting styles of happily married moms.

Question 8 of 10

The guidelines that should be followed when accepting volunteers for your ministry include:

Allowing friends to recommend volunteers that you have never met and have never been vetted by your church.
Following your church’s specific regulations for background checks, ensuring that childcare volun-teers are never serving alone, and making sure that each volunteer reaches effective training for their specific role.
Only training the volunteers that handle meal preparation for the group, while allowing the other volunteers to assist without proper training.
Foregoing any background checks on volunteers and allowing those with no ex-perience to assist with the ministry.

Question 9 of 10

Why is it essential to create your own community resource list for your single moms?

Because you have to know how to service every problem that a single mom may encounter.
Because your church will more than likely require that you have a list of re-sources for needy families in your community.
Because the material covered during the single mom group meetings doesn’t provide the moms with enough information to help herself or her family.
Because it is vital that you have a list of resources that will assist single moms when instances of homelessness and food disparity arise that your ministry is not equipped to handle.

Question 10 of 10

What does it mean to be a Certified Ministry Leader through The Life of a Single Mom?

That your name is published in a national newspaper.
That you can run a single mom group entirely on your own, and do not need help from your church or The Life of a Single Mom community.
That you have undergone all of the required training, have access to The Life of a Single Mom logo, and that your group can be listed on the national support group map located on The Life of a Single Mom’s website.
That you can now conduct sermons at your church without prior approval from your church’s leadership team.
