HCBC Women’s Ministry

Women Sharing, Supporting & Serving in Jesus’ Name

The Women’s Ministry welcomes you to Holly Creek Baptist Church. Our goal is to make each woman feel comfortable and connected so that you will become a committed member of the body of Christ and our HCBC church family.

EVENTS: The Women’s Ministry sponsors several events each year to 1) give the women of our church and community an opportunity to grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, 2)reach those who don’t know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and 3) celebrate the relationship we have as sisters in Christ. We hope that you will join us for these annual events.

BIBLE STUDY: Throughout the year we offer women opportunities to be involved in small group Bible study. We have done studies authored by many of today’s strongest women of faith such as Kay Arthur, Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Jennifer Rothschild and Mary Kassien. Not only is this a time to study God’s Word, it is a place to come with questions, prayer concerns, and burdens that can be shared with the other ladies in your small group. Most importantly, it is a time to let God speak to you through the truth of His Word. You will want to look for information regarding these studies and make plans to attend.

MINISTRY: The purpose of ministry is to serve Christ in a tangible way in the church and the community. Many of the members of the women’s ministry team are working within our existing church ministries to serve children, youth and adults. As the women’s ministry grows, we hope to expand the number and types of ministries in which we are involved. Currently, our ministry focus is to be Titus 2 women…providing mentorship to women who are new Christians, as well as women new to our church. We hope that you will be blessed through this ministry and will choose to be a mentor to another woman at some point in time.

If you have any questions about the women’s ministry or would like to be involved, please contact Lynn Duncan, our Women’s Ministry Team Leader at lmduncan@windstream.net

Current Ministry Project

Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child

The Women’s Ministry is currently involved in collecting shoeboxes and items for shoeboxes in conjunction with Samaritan’s Purse - Operation Christmas Child. If you would like to help with this ministry project, you can bring a filled shoebox or items that can be put in a shoebox to be sent to a child around the world. (See details below.) As the children receive these gifts, they also hear the gospel message of the love of Jesus. The deadline is November 19. For more information, call the church office (695-8552).

Help give a gift of joy & a message of God’s love

to children around the world

Since 1993 Samaritan’s Purse has shared the Good News of God’s love with the

poor children of the world. Shoe boxes filled with simple gifts are given to these

children as a way to introduce them to Jesus Christ. Local believers follow up with

evangelistic programs giving them the chance to learn about and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This year the HCBC Women’s Ministry and our GAs will be coordinating the efforts of our church to participate in this worthwhile program. Our goal is to send 75 shoeboxes to Samaritan’s Purse. Won’t you make a difference in the life of a child this Christmas by helping us reach our goal?

How to Pack a Shoe Box

1) Use an empty shoe box or a small, store bought plastic container. Pack the shoebox with items like those listed below. You can wrap the box (lid separately) but wrapping is not required; or put holiday issue paper in the plastic container.

2) Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Mark the correct age category on the box with a label. If you don’t have a label, mark the box and someone else will add the correct label later.

3) If you can, please include money to help cover the cost of shipping…the recommended donation is $7 per shoe box.

5) Put a rubber band around the shoebox and leave it in the hallway outside the library or in the Joy Sunday School Class by Wednesday, November 19th.

As you pack a shoe box, please pray for the boy or girl who will receive it, asking God to use your gift to open hearts to Jesus.
