Planning a women’s prayer breakfast doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it can be a beautiful, spirit-filled experience when you have the right tools—and the right support. That’s exactly why I created a book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast from beginning to end. As a pastor’s wife and nonprofit manager, I’ve planned countless events – including women’s prayer breakfasts!
Whether you’re planning your very first gathering or you’ve been doing this for years, this book is for you.
I’ve planned so many events—conferences, brunches, workshops—and each one taught me something new. I’ve poured every bit of that experience into my latest project: a book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast. In it, I share not only the “what to do” but the “how to do it” with ease, grace, and most importantly—purpose.
Let’s get into a few tips straight from the book and my own experience.
Build a Team (Yes, Even if It’s Just You and Your Husband)
A successful event rarely happens solo. If you’re flying solo right now, pray and then ask around. Your help may come in the form of a friend, a church member, or yes—even your husband. This is the time to delegate tasks and share the load. My book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast includes ideas on how to assign roles effectively without stress or guilt.

Choose a Free (or Cheap) Venue
One of the best ways to stretch your budget is by selecting a free venue. Your church building is likely the best option—it’s familiar, accessible, and most importantly, cost-effective. My book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast shares even more ways to save money without sacrificing quality.
If your church isn’t an option, ask around on Facebook or social media. Someone may know of a community room, a small event hall, or even a beautiful home you could use.

Get Clear on the Purpose
Before you pick your theme or plan your menu, ask yourself: what is the one main goal of this breakfast? Is it to encourage women to deepen their faith? Build community? Teach on prayer?
This step is covered in detail in my book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast, because without this clarity, it’s easy to get lost in logistics and lose the heart of the event.
First, let me pause and tell you about two plans I’ve created that you can use as a copy/paste resource. One is exhaustive with ideas, and the other is a template. Click here to view them in my e-store.

Define “Breakfast”
This sounds simple, but it’s one of the biggest event stressors: are you offering a full breakfast or light snacks?
Will it be pastries and coffee or a full spread with bacon, eggs, and pancakes? Clarifying this early will help you stay on budget and set expectations. Some groups have even asked husbands or youth volunteers to help with the cooking to cut costs—genius, right?
Create a Budget and Stick to It
You don’t need a massive budget to create a beautiful event. Think Dollar Tree, Walmart, your church supply closet, and yes, even your mom’s attic. You’d be amazed what you can pull together on a small budget.
And yes—my book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast includes printable budget sheets and checklists. No more trying to remember everything or scribbling on napkins during choir rehearsal.
Invite Churches Outside Your Own
This is a great time to expand your reach. Reach out to surrounding churches and personally invite their first ladies or women’s ministry leaders. A personal invitation goes a long way in ministry circles.
And don’t forget—you can grab a sample invitation letter straight from my book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast. It’ll save you time and help you sound polished and prepared.
Real Tools for Real Women
I’ve taught a 90-minute class based on everything inside the book. I shared shortcuts, planning hacks, and technology tools that make the whole process easier and less stressful. If you’d like to be notified of the next class, just subscribe and we’ll send you the date.
In the meantime, you can grab the book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast on Amazon or download the e-book version directly. It’s written with love, real-world experience, and a deep desire to see women’s ministries thrive.
What You’ll Find in the Book
The book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast is more than a checklist. It’s a roadmap from idea to execution. You’ll find:
- Sample themes and event names that are fresh and biblical
- Ideas for centerpieces and decorations that won’t break the bank
- Suggested Scriptures, prayer topics, and devotion outlines
- Icebreaker questions that women actually enjoy answering
- Meal planning tips that include dietary needs and budget savers
- Volunteer management tips so you’re not running the show alone
- And yes, timelines so nothing falls through the cracks
By the time you finish it, you’ll feel organized, equipped, and encouraged. That’s my goal for every page.
Why This Book Matters
A book to help you plan your women’s prayer breakfast is like having a mentor by your side—someone who’s done it all before and wants to make it easier for you.
I remember when I planned my first women’s breakfast. I was excited, overwhelmed, and honestly, underprepared. I wished I had something like this. A resource that made me feel seen. A guide that made me feel capable. Learn more about my experience as a pastor’s wife and women’s ministry leader here.
Now, I’ve taken everything I’ve learned over the years and put it into a resource that I hope blesses you and your team as much as it has blessed mine.

You’re not alone. You’ve got a helper in your corner—this book and me.
