“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29
As we explore what it means to be on fire for God. We will rediscover the power of the Radical Transformation. The definition of radical is “having a profound or far-reaching effect,” and transformation is defined as a complete or major change in someone’s or something’s appearance or form. In the moment we trust the anointing FIRE (the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit) a radical transformation begins in us.
This year as Women of Worship, let us endeavor to represent fire in the following:
F-in our fellowship with one another as ministers being flames of fire (Hebrews 1:7)
I-in our impartation, let us our words be words blesses on another as burnt offering (2 Chronicles 7:1)
R-in our release as we let go of the strongholds that divides us (Amos 1:10)
E-in our ability to empower one another in service to God with a fiery spirit (Jeremiah 20:09)

Women of Worship Ministry Rituals 2017
Sobonfu Some: “There are basic maintenance rituals that we need on a daily basis in order to be able to be well. Those are the rituals that we do on our own behalf, connecting with spirit, connecting with our ancestors and the spirit of the place.”
Daily Ritual of Connection:"I'm alive, and here is my mission for today. I need your support and I need you to show up when I tell you to show up, because I need to be able to get the work done."'
Grieving ~ This Ritual is to release the everyday tension of whatever is weighing us down or clouding our ways, so that we can function.
Blessing ~ This Ritual is to bless other people, but also rituals to bless ourselves. A lot of times, we're looking for blessings outside, but sometimes we need to bless ourselves, because we know exactly what we need.
Bonding ~ This Ritual is an opportunity to bond and or to increasing bonding with certain family members. We need these rituals to stay connected, to keep healthy relationships between ourselves.
Conflict (Ash Circle) ~ This Ritual is to address inner conflict and conflict with a person (s) in our community.
Empowerment ~ This Ritual is for the empowering of ourselves, because every now and then, everybody needs their
battery jump-started, so these rituals are basically there to help us to get to the next level so that we can feel better.
Release ~ This Ritual allows us to let go of the past, rituals to let go of old partners so that we can start fresh, so that they are not becoming invisible leeches in our lives.
Welcoming ~ This Ritual is to welcome our ancestors into the sacred space.
