Presbyterian Women (PW)
Theme for the Year: Holy Sabbath
6:00 pm, September 8, Joint Meeting
Covered Dish Supper, Fellowship Hall
Whether you have been a part of a small group circle in the past or wish to learn more about this area of community life within the Sea Island congregation, our September 8 event should prove to be a good starting point for the 2022/23 season. Everyone is asked to bring a side or dessert of their choosing. Meat and drinks will be provided.
People often ask, “What is the purpose of Presbyterian Women?” PW helps us realize that we are a part of the world and we have an opportunity to expand from our individual prayer life and study to small groups (circles) and the greater church in the work and ministry of the PCUSA.
Sign-up and registration sheets can be found in the Gathering Room. For those who would like to be a part of this fellowship, study, and working group, connected with other PW groups from around the presbytery and the Synod of the South Atlantic (Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina), your annual cost is only $25.00. Your fee covers the Bible study book, dues for your small group circle, and financial support for mission work sponsored by Presbyterian Women. We are hopeful that the Fellowship Hall will be filled with all age groups within the church. Child-care will be provided.
