Women's Ministry

Welcome to our First Ladies' Ministries Page!  We are so excited that you clicked on to see what God is doing in and through the lives of our First Ladies.  Our goal in 2012 is to show God's love by loving Him and His Word, loving others, and sharing His love through our actions.  To accomplish this goal, we must L.O.V.E.

 

 

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  Deuteronomy 6:5

 

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.  Galatians 5:13

 

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  John 13:34

 

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.  Amen.  Matthew 28:19-20

 

We would "LOVE" to have you join us, so please click on the different links to see all the opportunities and how you can become more involved.

 

 

 

 

 

In Deuteronomy 6:4-5, God commands His people to love God with all of their being.  Jesus repeats this command in Matthew 22:37 adding the command to also love others.  How can one love God or anyone without knowing them?  The good news is: to know God is to love Him!  Once we know and love Him, He gives us the "know-how" to love others!

 

 

Mug 'n Muffin Studies--(Thursday morning 9:15-11:30 am) Ladies, join us each Thursday, this fall, for refreshments and Bible Study. We have childcare provided and you are welcome to join us for Mom to Mom: A Mom's Mission, Prayer: A Two Way Conversation and our Precept Upon Precept class on the Patriarchs of the Bible. The Winter session is in progress, but you are still welcome to join us.

 

Winter Bible Study Classes: (Wednesday evening 6:15-8:30 pm) This winter through the Word of Life Academy, we will be offering a Beth Moore study on James facilitated by Julie Pekarski and the Precept upon Precept Ministry classes learning about the Patriarchs of the Bible.

 

 

 

We exist to share God's love with each other, our neighbors and others around the world.  We do this by supporting missionaries locally, within the United States and globally through learning about missions, prayer, and personal involvement.  Our monthly meetings, on the 4th Thursday of each month (September-May), are open to all women of the church.  You do not need to be a member to attend.  Just come and enjoy!

 

Sharing God's love is a part of each monthly meeting.  We focus on missions through missionary speakers, prayer for missionaries (who have birthdays that day) and activities.  Check your bulletin and First Baptist Church's newsletter, The Beacon, for details of the monthly meetings.

 

We love our nation by participating in the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering and our world by giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.  We also give to the World Hunger Fund and the North Carolina Missions Offering for work within the state of North Carolina

Please be a part of our L.E.I. Ministry (Love & Embrace each other Immeasurably).  We want to love and embrace our new members immeasurably together so that we can grow in Christ, serve Him and become the women of God He desires us to be.

L.E.I. Ministry Director: Jane Walton

 

 

 

First Ladies, we want to praise our Heavenly Father for His goodness, grace, provision, and mercy.  We want to lay our burdens at His feet and eagerly await and celebrate His answers.  Please join us!
