Presbyterian Women (PW) is a church-wide organization whose membership is open to all women of the Presbyterian Church (USA) who choose to participate in or be supportive of PW in any way. PW intentionally seeks membership for women of all racial and ethnic groups so that the organization reflects a vision of the whole church as a community of mutual interdependence in which diversity contributes to wholeness.
PW gives strong support to the mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and determines its own leadership program and budget.
Purpose of the 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,
To build an inclusive, caring community of women
That strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA)
And witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

This year's Horizon Bible Study is “Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke-Acts”.
In the nine lessons of this Bible study we will explore the Gospel According to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as they reveal Jesus Christ's commitment to including in God's love "all people, regardless of their race, class, gender, or sexuality." It's a radical message of mercy and compassion. From this study...

It's a radical message of mercy and compassion. From this study...
- Can we learn to transform ourselves and our congregation to "achieve true inclusion in our communities of faith?"
- Can we "treat our interactions as sacred encounters that demonstrate the transformational love of Christ Jesus?"
- Can we see what might happen to ourselves and our church if we accomplish these goals?
