History - 2004

This was the year the Lord moved the Carver family to New Hampshire.

As I (Holly Carver) adjusted and transitioned my family to a new ministry at Monadnock Bible Conference, I wondered what the Lord would do with the Beautiful You ministry. That year the Lord gave me a vision for a three year curriculum, which would rotate every three years. The first year of studies would be “Beauty from the inside-out, paralleling spiritual and physical beauty”, the second year of studies would be “Beauty in relationships, highlighting a biblical woman character”, and the third year of studies would be “Beauty in action, highlighting the various roles within the church body”. This way, when a teen enters sixth grade, goes to meeting(s) and hears the messages, the same message will be heard again in ninth grade. Reaching them at different stages of life will bring the various truths alive, as applicable.


Judith Flemming continued the Groton Heights Baptist Church, Beautiful You ministry. The BY group had a very eventful year with a lot of fun activities, including opening and starting the clothing closet, a “what not to wear” fashion show, and a day to beautify the Church’s park property.

History - 2008

Almost up to date :) This spring we had our second ever teen girl conference, at Monadnock Bible Conference! What another amazing event, with over 250 teen girls!!! The Jaffrey Bible Church began their fourth year of club meetings, directed by Sheryl Duncan. Sheryl has taken this opportunity to stretch herself in teaching the devotional thoughts as well as direct the club. The Beautiful You group is enjoying this year’s theme of "Beauty from the inside-out" . The wellness highlights will focus on various aspects of physical beauty (skin care, hair care, nutrition, etc...) It has been a real blessing to be able to connect teen girls with women who can share in these various aspects of beauty! My hope is to take the next step, and present the manuals and Beautiful You concept to publishers. Therefore, making this ministry available to anyone interested. Many, many people have expressed interest in starting the Beautiful You Ministry within their church family. Please ...

Beauty and the Bubble Bath

  Beauty and the Bubble Bath What is Beauty?  Where does it come from?  What makes a person beautiful?  Is it their appearance, their attitude, or both?  Think of someone that you think is truly beautiful.  What makes them beautiful?  Is it their hair, their skin, their perfect figure?  Or is it their heart, their caring and compassionate nature, their gentle and quiet spirit?  Man vs. God:   We are bombarded by voices everywhere, each one expressing an opinion about our worth or what we must do to be beautiful, to be accepted and to be loved.  (like the latest fashion magazines & beauty tends) Where else do some of these “voices” come from? How many of us are honest enough to say that we sometimes believe the lies that the voice of “man” tells us?  I know I have struggled with this! In Matthew 23:25 Jesus exchanged conversation with the Pharisees, the religious rulers of His time.  He accused them of shining the...

Beauty in Appearance and Hair Care

https://www.freepik.com/ What do People see when they see us? We present ourselves through actions and attitude, or our presentation can be merely through our looks.  How important is appearances?  Question:  Are people so distracted by how we look, that they miss who we are? What is “Outward appearance”? According to definition:  Appearance is the look or outward aspect of a person or thing, an outward show; pretense to maintain an outward show of being proper, prosperous, etc… [1Peter 3:3-4 NIV] 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. According to this verse we are to be known for what?  The Spirit within . There is nothing wrong with hairdos, nice jewelry, trendy clothing. But our sty...
