PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN PURPOSE (Unison Reading)

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 (USA)
And witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

Explanation of Presbyterian Women Logo

Forgiven and freed by grace through faith, the central figure stands in praise.

Rooted in faith the trio of women emerge. The outline of the central figures forms a cross. We are Presbyterian women engrafted in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us.

The right figure holds a book to guide her studying, praying and reading.

The left figure reaches out to care for others, as she shares, nurtures, and heals. The circle represents the church worldwide where women offer their gifts and talents in the midst of the global community.

The uplifted arms of the central figure reach out to embrace a just peace. The relationship between the three figures depicts lives of wholeness rather than turmoil.

The three women have no distinct features. They represent all women. The shapes surrounding them express energy, strength and openness.

Our name, Presbyterian Women, ties us to our denomination. The Bible resembles the Bible depicted in the Presbyterian Church (USA) seal.

Guided by the purpose, Presbyterian Women witnesses to the reality of God’s present realm.

CELEBRATION OF CREATIVE MINISTRIES

Two special offerings are taken each year. The FALL THANK OFFERING (ongoing since the late 1800’s) is used for several small projects with at least 40% designated for health ministries. The SPRING BIRTHDAY OFFERING (started in 1922) is used for Presbyterian Women predetermined projects.

CELEBRATIONS OF CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

PW encourages the support of activities and missions of Church Women United. Our monthly contribution to the Fellowship of the Least Coin benefits women in all eight regions of the world. There are opportunities to participate in activities of Church Women United throughout Martin County. Notices are posted on our PW-CWU bulletin board in the fellowship hall. You are invited to participate in various activities provided by the Presbyterian Women locally and through the Presbytery.
