Goals of PW

We will:

  • GLORIFY God in all of our work;
  • GATHER often in Christian fellowship and love;
  • GROW in faith and in mission;
  • be GLAD and rejoice in our lives as Presbyterian Women

Scripture

"Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not His benefits." Psalm 103:1-2


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 member of First Presbyterian Church is 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.

 

  • Sarah Circle: Like Sarah, these members have experienced most of what life offers. They are active in all aspects of church life and are especially helpful in keeping in contact with homebound members. Sarah Circle meets on the second Wednesday of every month, at 10:30 a.m., at the church.
  • 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.
  • Elizabeth Circle: is very giving, very active, has a real spirit of unity, and works well together. They bring food baskets to the CARE Clinic, distribute Billy Graham booklets, and sew caps for premies and cancer patients.  Elizabeth Circle meets the second Tuesday of every month, 10:30 a.m., at the church.
  • Earthen Vessels: Mothers of children (infants through teens) who are learning to cope with child-rearing situations in a Christ-like setting. They meet the third Tuesday of every month, 12:30 p.m., at a local area restaurant.
  • 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 or at a member's home.
  • First Stiches:  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.
