A Short Message To Get You Excited For Sunday’s Worship Service.
“Be Bold For Jesus”
In Acts 4:13-31, Peter and John are dragged before the Jewish leaders and threatened to stop preaching and healing in the name of Jesus. Peter and John refuse and are released. Then, as all the believers pray together for boldness, the place where they are gathered shakes and they become embolden to also preach the name of Jesus without fear. In both these cases of boldness, we see a common theme: the Holy Spirit! Peter is emboldened by the Holy Spirit (verse 8) and is able to be bold. Later, the other believers were also filled with the Holy Spirit and embolden as well (verse 31).
We must be people of boldness for Jesus, especially now when there are many threats, physical, emotional, and spiritual, against us for sharing Jesus. We must rely on God and His Holy Spirit, otherwise we'll never be bold.
Join us this Sunday at 10 AM for Bible class, and 11 AM for worship as we learn about 5 reasons, we can be bold for Jesus according to Acts 4:13-31. See you then!

Tech Team Support
The Holly Hill Tech Team needs help. We would love to have a few more people trained and available to set up the livestreams and audio equipment. It’s a fairly simple task and you’ll be well trained before being thrown into the seat alone. If you’re interested, see David Jones, Brad Gregory, or Brad Proctor.

If you have any questions, please contact Scott Trent or email the church office at office@hollyhillcoc.org.
Youth Ministry
Holly Hill is beginning a search for a Children and Youth Minister. The Evangelistic Committee (Scott Trent, David Jones, Tom Owens, Jeff Jones, or Robert Roach) need your suggestions and input. Please pray for this position and for our congregation and for the search committee that will be formed in the coming days.
Children’s Ministry
If you’d be willing to teach, sub, or help, please see Scott Trent. We have a wonderful opportunity to teach God’s Word to our children. Let’s make sure they get our very best! Thank you!
Greeting Card Ministry
Every Sunday there are cards spread out on a table in the auditorium, right in front of the nursery window, which will be sent out to various church members and guests who need encouragement. You can help serve and encourage by making sure to sign these cards each week. If you know someone who would benefit from receiving a card from the church, please give the name(s) and address to Joyce Best. We will have “Get Well” cards, “Thinking of You” cards, “Praying For You” cards, and “Sympathy” cards. You can also text the information to (502) 593-5865.
