History of the Ladies Bible Circle

On January 3, 1954 the ladies of Summer Hill Baptist Church met for the first time. Everyone agreed to use the name "The Ladies Bible Circle" and to meet the first Tuesday of each month. The circle soon had 38 members. When the circle was first organized, it was basically a Bible study with different ladies as teachers.

For the first year there were no officers except a teacher and secretary-treasurer. The first teachers were Mrs. Gertie Flinchum, Mrs. Amanda Hancock, Mrs. Mary "Molly" Williamson, Mrs. Margaret Gilmore and Mrs. Mary Kennedy. In June of 1955 we elected our first president, Mrs. Lucy Short Blaylock.

Throughout the years, the Ladies Bible Circle have completed several projects for the church and the glory of God. They include: new church hymnals, shrubbery for the church, glass top and cloths for the communion table, flower stands, table cloths, curtains, supplies and electrical equipment for the fellowship hall, a clock for the sanctuary, furniture for the Prophet's chamber, nursery, and foyer. In 2007, a cookbook was compiled. Each year the Ladies Bible Circle delivers cookies or a fruit basket to our shut-ins at Thanksgiving and poinsettias at Christmas. Each month the circle delivers corsages to Pine Lake Nursing Home for the resident's birthday parties. Flowers for Sunday Services are provided by the Bible Circle. A yearly Christmas dinner and Mother-Daughter Banquet is also sponsored.

As we continue, we ask the Lord to keep us humble and in His will that we might be a blessing to others. All ladies are welcome to join our circle.
