Presbyterian Women

Continuing in September 2023, we offer three Circles: Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. Ladies are invited to come to any or all of these Circles. Our Morning Circle meets at 9:45 AM on the 2nd Thursday of the month in the Fellowship Hall. We begin with time for Fellowship before our Bible Study. A short Business Meeting follows. Our Afternoon Circle is usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at a member's home. The dates of our Evening Circles vary, depending on attendees' schedules, and is held at a member's home.

PW 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 worldwide,

- to work for justice and peace, and

- to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witness to the promise of God's kingdom.
