Scripture

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.

Psalm 106:1

Hymn

"Be thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Not be all else to save that Thou art -

Thou my best thought, by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.

Thou great Father, I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one."

PW Circles

  • Circles are small gatherings of PW for Bible study, fellowship and service.
  • Every woman who is a member of First Presbyterian Church is also a member of PW and a First Lady.
  • All PW are placed in circles but may attend any circle that they would like to attend.
  • Hannah Circle: is composed primarily of working women and retirees. This circle meets in member's homes the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. This circle is very active in all church activities.
  • Martha Circle: Members are active in church programs. They meet on the second Tuesday of every month, at 10:00 a.m. at various circle members' homes.
  • Mother's Love
  • Ruth
  • First Chapter: Women meet on a monthly basis for lunch to discuss spiritual literature. First Chapter meets the third Thursday of every month, at either a local area restaurant, the church, or at a member's home.
  • First Stitches:  This is the circle for women who love to sew - but that ability is not a requirement. They meet at the church one Sunday afternoon each month to sew, stuff, and assemble items for infants and children at local area hospitals.
