 Presbyterian
Women, 2008-2009
Did you know that when you become a member of First Presbyterian
Church you are automatically welcomed into a group of supportive,
caring women called Presbyterian Women, or PW? Helping you
find your place and feeling connected to our larger church
through small study groups called "circles" is
one of the goals of PW. These groups not only provide a
place for you to make lasting friendships, but they also
will help nurture your spiritual life, enhance your prayer
life, engage in outreach projects and provide for you a time to relax and just
have fun together.
Special Annual Events for All Women, 2008-2009
You are invited to participate in our four general lunch
or dinner gatherings as well as our spring retreat during
the coming year. These events can give a newcomer a feel
for the work and fellowship of PW. Information about each
gathering can be found in the church publications prior
to each event. Listed below are the five events and the
dates for each. We hope you'll want to join us!
