Women's Ministry
Mission Statement: Women Serving God through
ministry to others.
The Women's Support Group is a vital part of Women's Ministry at Jerusalem
Baptist Church. It is comprised of Christian Women who meet once a month (the
third Saturday of the month) for the purpose of serving God, supporting each
other through prayer and friendship, and praying for the needs of others and our
church. The group's aim is to share Christ's love to others in our church, as
well as the community at large, through various ministry projects. It is open to
all ladies in our church and community who want to become a part of this vital
ministry.
Some of the Women's Ministry projects include the following:
Prayers and Squares: Another ministry spearheaded by the Women's Support Group is Prayers and
Squares. Prayer quilts are made for anyone experiencing a physical, emotional or
spiritual crisis who feels as if he/she can benefit from being "covered in
prayer." The prayer quilts are brought before the congregation to be blessed and
dedicated. These present tie knots in quilt threads as they pray for the
individual and covet to keep that person in their daily prayers.

Ladies Prayer Chain: Anyone wishing to activate the prayer chain
can call Carolyn Beaver (336) 998-4470 or Doris Honeycutt (336) 284-4500. They
in turn will call other ladies to start the prayer chain. These ladies stop what
they are doing and pray for the need at hand.
New Baby Ministry: When the Women's Support Group learns of a new
baby in our church community, a visit is made to take a small baby gift and a
brochure from our church to the new mother and baby.
Care Box: When there is a death in our church family, a care box
is taken to the home where the family will be gathering. The box contains such
supplies as a coffee pot, coffee, sugar, creamer, paper towels, paper plates,
napkins, etc.
Christmas Stockings: At Christmas the ladies fill large stockings
with appropriate gifts for shut-ins and folks in the nursing homes and deliver
them.
Mother/Daughter Banquet: In the fall the ladies sponsor a
Mother/Daughter banquet. A nice buffet meal is provided at no cost to the
ladies. A devotion and program or entertainment follow the meal.
Festival of Tables: In the spring the Support Group sponsors a
Festival of Tables. Ladies decorate tables according to their selected themes
and invite people to come sit at their tables. A devotion and program or
entertainment follows the meal. After expenses, all proceeds got to support the
Building Fund.
The Women's Ministry is open to all ladies who love the Lord and want to be in
service to Him and to others.
