Holly Hill is under construction, but it's not us doing the work, it's GOD! This Sunday (1/12/25), we're going to look at the 8 "Building Blocks of Faith" in 2 Peter 1:5-10 and see how God is at work in our midst, and what the result of being built up in this way is. Join us and get involved in the amazing work God is doing! See you Sunday at 10 AM for Bible class and 11 AM for worship!

Ladies, I am hosting my third annual “Favorite Things Party” on January 25th at 10 AM in the church fellowship hall. For the party, please bring three items (all three of the items being the same thing) of something that is your favorite. It can be anything, kitchen utensils, makeup, notebook, lotion, books, snacks, etc., and we will go around and tell each other why that item is one of our favorites. The price limit is a max of $30 for all three items combined. No need to wrap the gifts, because we will show everyone what we brought. After the party is done you will go around and take three different items home with you of your choosing out of something that someone else brought! This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow sisters in Christ better while having fun! We will be eating brunch foods, so please bring a yummy brunch type dish if you can. Hope to see you all there! Contact Katie Bell with any questions.
