Sermon Preview
A Short Message To Get You Excited For Sunday’s Worship Service.
The Five Demonic D's of Satan
We are in a spiritual battle (Eph. 6:12). Satan is the enemy king who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Bible identifies five major categories of ways that Satan wages war against Christians:
1.) Discouragement
2.) Doubt
3.) Distraction
4.) Deception
5.) Division
We will look at each of them and see how we are promised victory through Christ!

Benevolence Box For The Drake Family
Many of us know and love former members, Kenneth & Lindsey Drake and their family. They returned for a visit a few weeks ago. Kenneth had been successfully treated for cancer, but it has returned around his orbital nerve & spinal cord. A Benevolence Box has been placed in the foyer, giving us the opportunity to help/serve this special family who will always be a part of Holly Hill. The box will remain in the foyer until Sunday, Nov 16.
16 Personalities Questionnaire
Enclosed is the 16 Personalities website link. I ask everyone, especially those attending the Sunday morning auditorium Bible class, to complete the free questionnaire and record their results. We will use the results to help identify our personal strengths and weaknesses and inform where we can best work together to accomplish Kingdom work at the Holly Hill congregation. It should only take about 10 minutes to complete the test; don't overthink your answers and be as honest as possible for the most accurate result. Thanks for your participation.

The Women's Ministry Program wants to make sure those unable to attend church are receiving visits! If you are not a member of the visitation committee but have visited someone recently, please let Cora Owens know. The visitation committee is creating a complete list of members to visit and wants to be sure no one is left out! Thanks in advance!
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.
Meal Train & Potluck Ministry
If you’d like to help a family in need of a meal or sign up to bring a dish to a potluck, please contact Robin Mayes.
Building Security
We are in need of volunteers to make sure the building is locked following the conclusion of our Sunday & Mid-Week services. A sign-up sheet that runs through the remainder of the year has been place in the foyer. If you have any questions, please contact Scott Trent.
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 provide the name and address to Joyce Best. We will have “Get Well” cards, “Thinking of You” cards, “Praying For You” cards, and “Sympathy” cards.
