Happy PW's 125th!
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.

Horizons Bible
Study Meets on the 1st Monday of the Month beginning October 2nd in the PW Lounge and over Zoom
“Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke-Acts”
Within the pages of this study, Olive Mahabir, the author, invites you to consider Jesus and Jesus’ disciples who shared the Good News through sacred encounters with everyday people.
The Gospel According to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, or Luke-Acts, will demonstrate the unfolding of God’s redemptive purposes in human history through the person and work of Jesus Christ. His “sacred encounters” with ordinary folk can help us understand the importance and impact of our interactions with others. Can we learn to share the transformative love he represents?
