Tonight I had the great privilege of going to the Women's Fellowship Group. It was held in the Alfrianus Mingsu family home on the front porch. About 20 women attended and there was lots of chatter and laughter. One of the women talked on Colossians chapter 3 and I did a short exercise. There was also lots of lovely singing, without accompaniment and mostly without words, and prayers. After the service they auctioned off 3 plates of fruit that people had contributed and a bag with parcels of rice that others had brought. The money helped towards the fundraising.
This group also has an arisan. Each women contribues Rp 20,000 (about $2) each month and the total collected for the month goes to one of the contributors. This way each women takes turns in receiving about Rp 400,000 - - Rp 600,000 ($40-$60). A good system to help poorer households get an occasional "bonus".
