W omen helping women grow in the Lord.               O ccasions for using spiritual gifts & God given talents.               M eaningful relationships developing among women.                 E ncouraging one another in who God made us to be.                   N etworking together as women in the Body of Christ.    Dear Women of South Hill,  Our Women's Ministries  theme at SHCC for 2010-2011 is "Keeping the Faith!" In a day when Christianity is constantly challenged, ridiculed and scrutinized, we felt it important that the focus of our year be to equip women in the faith. In Matthew 24 Jesus tells us that in the last days people will come “so as to mislead, if possible, eventhe elect.” This deception can be blatant, but can also be so subtle. We must work together to keep it from taking root in our hearts!  With this in mind, we will take part in our church’s launch into Vision 2014 this September.  This vision will reinforce the mission statement of our church: "The Mission of South Hill Christian Church is to be a caring community where lives are changed through knowing Christ, growing in Christ and going with Christ to others. Thus the theme of "Keeping the Faith!"  will result in these action steps: "Know, Grow, and Go!"  At the end of this year may we be able to say with Paul “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim 4:7)  This year, ladies, may we be equipped in keeping the faith as we know the Lord, grow in Him, and go and share Him with others!  Looking forward to “Keeping the Faith” with you!  God bless!                                                                                                               Laurie Laramie

Christmas Tea  South Hill Christian Church's Annual Christmas Tea took place on Monday, December 7, 2009. Known for its special place in the community, the Christmas Tea ushers in the holiday season by bringing the touch of Christ's birth to the women in our area. This year's theme was "Real Joy!" as we looked at Christ's birth from the perspective of the angels. The evening included special music, drama performances, refreshments, and a traditional favorite:  the singing of Christmas Carols.   Christmas Tea Pictures 2009
