PW Luncheons - First
Wednesday of the month in February, March, April, May,
September, October, November, and December at 11:45 a.m. in
Fellowship Hall. They meet for food, fellowship, and
informational and inspirational programs on a variety of topics.
All women of the church and guests are welcome! |
Circles - Fellowship and Bible
Study
PW Circles are the mainstay of our study and prayer life.
There are four circles. Three meet in the morning and one meets
in the afternoon. They meet on the third Wednesday of each
month. The morning circles usually meet in the homes of members
and the afternoon circle meets at the church. All circles follow
the PW Bible Study.
Each circle also participates in the Fellowship of the Least
Coin, an international, ecumenical women's group which collects
the least coin of member countries to use in mission projects.
Calling on the homebound and pledging for mission work are also
part of circle life. |
Sewing Group - Meets at
1:00 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month except in November
and December.
The PW sewing group sews surgical masks, bandages, lap robes, quilts and
gowns to send to various missions around the country and the
world. |
|
Caring Visitors - Call on
shut-ins on the fourth Wednesday of each month, although the
days are subject to change. |
Shawl Ministry - Fellowship of
the Cloth
Care and the love of knitting (and crocheting) have been combined
into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of
comfort and solace. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl.
The knitter begins each shawl with prayers for the recipient.
Intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl.
When the shawl is completed it is offered a final ritual before
being sent along its way. Contact Janey Nottage-Tacey, 462-8600,
if you are interested in being a part of the Shawl Ministry. |

Presbyterian
Women Purpose
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the
Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves:
to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
to support the mission of the church world wide,
to work for justice and peace,
and to build an inclusive, caring community of women
that strengthens the Presbyterian
Church (USA)
and witnesses to the promise of God's
kingdom. |
