Women's Ministries
The women of First Baptist Church of 29 Palms women's ministry exists to provide avenues for deeper intimacy with Christ Jesus through the study of God's Word, to build relationships that encourage one another to press on toward Christ likeness in order that our lives will bear much fruit that makes His glory known. We build on the firm foundation of God's infalible Word that states, "Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised."
Mission Statement
The women's ministries at First Baptist Church of 29 Palms, California seeks to win women and children in our community to Christ and encourage them to grow in their relationships with God and others by providing opportunities for spiritual growth, close fellowship, meaningful service and effective outreach.
To accomplish this, we collect food and/or supplies as needed for their distribution. We also assist the following orginizations with money and item donations as well as our time:
- The Way Station located at Commercial Way in Joshua Tree spreads God's Word(food for the soul)as well as food for the body. They also offer Holiday Food Baskets at Thanksgiving and Easter, and School Supply Backpacks on Undie-Monday(first day of school).
- The 29 Palms Community Food Pantry is located at Immanuel Prince of Peace Church in 29 Palms. They participate in the distribution of food to families and individuals in need, in and around the 29 Palms area.
- Gideon's International-29 Palms Camp works to share God's Word by passing out Bibles to Hotels/Motels, jails and at events throughout the Morongo Basin.
Exercise for Health
- When? Mondays at 6:00-7:00 p.m.
- Where? At the church in the fellowship hall.
"Do you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you, that you recieved from God? You are not your own; when Jesus died on the cross for our sins you were bought with a very high price. Therefore honor God with your body."(1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
During this past summer a few women decided their bodies were in need of some strengthening and rebuilding. In September we started execising for our health.
We do not focus on weight loss. Instead we focus on making our bodies healthier and more comfortable. We exercise to various videos, DVD's and music CD's. At Exercise for Health we will be walking, stretching, cardio training and sharing with each other what has worked for you and what hasn't.
There is also a high impact exercise group that meets on Sundays at 2:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall.
Women's Bible Study
- Where? We will meet in the Library
- When? Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m.
This spring we will continue to study "The Power of a Praying Woman." Do you know how to pray for yourself? Do you find it easy to pray for your spouse, your children, your friends,and your extended family, but not for yourself? Prayer is powerful. God wants to hear your requests for your life too. He loves it when you come to Him for the things you need and ask Him make you the woman you have always longed to be. In her book,"The Power of a Praying Woman" Stormie Omartian leads women into deeper, more fulfilling prayer lives.
We invite you to learn how to:
- Draw closer to God
- Know His plans and purpose for our lives
- Receive comfort, help and strength for everyday
