Presbyterian Women Potluck Supper
Thursday, September 12

Women of the Church are invited to a 6:00 pm Potluck Supper in the Fellowship Hall as we kick off our 2024-25 events. Our small groups provide an opportunity for women of all ages in the church to meet together for study, fellowship, and community service. Our meetings include time for fellowship, a devotional, a Bible study lesson, sharing concerns, joys, and prayer requests, and conducting “business” related to the mission and work of Presbyterian Women within the presbytery, synod and greater church. Our small group meetings are conducted at church on the second Thursday of each month, September thru May. The Lydia Circle (small group) meets in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 am. Coffee and refreshments provided. The Mary Magdalene Circle (small group) meets in Room 208 at 6:00 pm with a soup and salad supper. We hope to see this coming Thursday evening. +
