Presbyterian Women (PW) is a churchwide organization whose membership
is open to all women of the PC (USA) who choose to participate in or
be supportive of PW in any way. PW intentionally seeks the membership
of women of all ages, races, ethnicities, and geographical locations
so that it may reflect the rich diversity of the Presbyterian Church
(USA). The "Purpose of Presbyterian
Women"
Forgiven and freed by God in 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 and to build an inclusive, caring community for women
that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the
promise of God's kingdom.Reflecting on the symbol
Rooted in faith the trio of women emerge. The circle represesnts
the church worldwide where women offer their gifts and talents in the
global community working for justice and peace. The central figure stands
in praise, and forms a cross. The right figure holds a book to guide
her reading, studying, praying, or meditating. The left figure reaches
out to care for others. This trio of women depicts lives of wholeness.
They represent all women. The Bible symbol is similar to the Bible in
the Peace Presbyterian Church (USA) Seal.
All women of Peace Church are
members of PW.
There are many opportunities available for fellowship,
participation in Bible study, and service. The P.W. Presbytery of Tropical
Florida conducts workshops and retreats. Women are encouraged to attend
events planned by Church Women United of Martin County.
