Presbyterian Women's Kick Off Is This Sunday!


This Sunday, September 8, 2019, at 11am, we kick off the 2019-2020 Presbyterian Women program year in the church.  Everyone is invited to join us for coffee and rolls, good company and fellowship.  PW is the longest running ministry of the church.  We have a tremendous legacy in this congregation and our group continues even as many of our sister churches find that their own Presbyterian Women Societies have faded into history.

We are currently sharing space in Westminster so we will need some help Sunday.  Worship will go forward as usual, but then, at its conclusion, we will magically transform the space into an area for PW to carry forward with their meeting and fellowship. 

On the Presbyterian Church USA website, I found this link to PW and to what their purpose is:

“Everything we do as an organization and as a community is guided by our PW Purpose, and that includes ministry, resources and relationships.
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves
·         to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
·         to support the mission of the church worldwide,
·         to work for justice and peace, and
·         to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.
Anyone who supports the Purpose in any way is participating in Presbyterian Women. So even if you’re just learning about Presbyterian Women, there’s a good chance you’re already supporting Presbyterian Women—in spirit or in action!”
On behalf of the Board and the Membership of the Presbyterian Women of the First Presbyterian Church of Perth Amboy, I invite you to join us in this vibrant community of people doing Jesus’ work in our community.
Peace,
Pastor Peter
