The women's activities at Starkey Road Baptist Church are an important part of SRBC. The activities are designed to encourage fellowship and promote spiritual growth. These activities vary from year to year but have included dinners with guest speakers, church-wide all ladies birthday parties, tea parties, as well as retreats to renew and refresh for the weekend.

The Heart to Heart Mentoring Ministry

Women have needs that only other women can meet. This unique ministry seeks to meet needs by partnering women with women for prayer, accountability, and encouragement. Titus 2:3-5 gives us a definite command for the older women to be an example to younger women, especially in the area of personal character and family responsibilities. All women of any age are invited to be part of this ministry.

 

Monthly socials are held from November to May with the purpose of developing friendships, encouragement, and spiritual growth.  An interesting speaker or topic of discussion is part of each fellowship time.  All women are invited to the socials which are usually held the last Tuesday of the month.

Women of Hope

Women of Hope is a ministry to widows. It doesn't matter if one has been a widow for many years or just recently, this group is here to encourage, uplift, and surround her with love. Women of Hope meet for a brunch or lunch once a month and not only is there a time of fellowship and fun, but also informative speakers that talk about needs specifically faced by our widow ladies. Formal and informal outings are also planned and costs are kept at a minimum so that all ladies will be able to join in.

 

B.L.T.

 

Becoming Light Together is a weight-loss class designed to help members lose those “extra pounds” that seem to gather when no one is looking.  While this is a ministry that is not limited to women, the majority of the members are ladies.  Each meeting is a time of encouragement and principles drawn from God’s Word.  There is a weekly “weigh in” and a small fee to attend.  BLT meets on Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. in the chapel.  Anyone who is over the age of 12 and interested in losing weight is welcome to join at any time.

 

Small Group Bible Studies

 

Ladies Bible Studies begin several times throughout the year and can run from 6 to 12 weeks in length.  These small groups meet in individual homes and usually involve watching a DVD with a facilitator leading the discussion afterwards.   Bible Studies are usually announced through the weekly bulletin several weeks before they begin and there is sometimes a fee to cover the cost of the workbook.
