Presbyterian Women

"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 worldwide, to work for justice and peace, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witness to the promise of God's kingdom."


Presbyterian Women's Coordinating Team



Presbyterian Women's Coordinating Team (PWCT) met Saturday morning, Feb 4. Attending, l to r: Pegge Emery, Louise Strain, Sheila Malmo, Marjorie Davison, Nancy Clayton, Teddy Walston. Not pictured: Moderator Liz Bushma, Virginia Kelley, June DeFore.

 

What is the reverse of PW?  WP, or "Women with a Purpose"!  We are looking for volunteers to become members of the PWCT in 2012. 

The PWCT meets one Saturday morning each month to plan for upcoming missions and events.  Presbyterian Women is run by a Coordinating Team because it is not a Commission.  They meet monthly to plan activities and projects.   

New ideas are so important to keep us vibrant and in tune with the needs of our community.  Please consider offering your time and talent to this Team. 

For more information, email or call Liz Bushma 892-1878, Nancy Clayton 771-1925, Virginia Kelley 994-4996, or Teddy Walston 891-0664; or just come to a meeting at 8:30 on the first Saturday of the month.

Presbyterian Women collected items for A Peaceful Habitation Home and Aftercare Ministry during the holidays. Virginia Kelley headed up the project. "We collected a large amount of personal and paper products, as well as garbage bags and twin-sized sheets", Virginia said.  "We took two large boxes over right before Christmas.  Thank you to all who contributed to this effort."

Regular Meetings and Events

Our meetings, programs and events are open to all women.  In addition to the PWCT meeting on the first Saturday of the month, we have:

  • the Dorcas Circle, which meets the 2nd Monday of the month at 7:00 PM.

  • the Mary/Martha Circle, which meets the 3rd Thursday of the month at 10:00 AM.

  • the annual Presbyterian Women Thank Offering.  Begun in 1888, this Offering was started to help the world-wide missionary movement of the day.  The use of the money has changed over the years, but a thank offering to the Lord continues to be an important part of women's giving by United Presbyterian Women.  The offering helps here in the U.S. as well as abroad.
