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
