2020 Thank Offering for Presbyterian Women
The PW Thank Offering is usually collected at the November circle meetings. These offerings provide grants for projects such as portable showers, refrigerated food trucks, backpack food supplies, support for abused women and children, peer support for those with mental illness, hearing aids for seniors, help for homeless shelters, housing for drug rehabilitation, gardens for refugee families, and transportation needs for single mothers and widows. Our church has benefited from the Thank Offering by receiving grants for backpack blessings.
You do not have to be a member of Presbyterian Women to contribute. Due to the fact that most circles are meeting through ZOOM, each circle leader needs to inform their members where to mail their offering. Non-members may mail their checks to the church. Make checks payable to Presbyterian Women and write “Thank Offering” on the comment line. Thank you to all participating!
2020-2021 Circles
To all women of First Presbyterian Church:
We would like to encourage all of you to join a Circle this fall. It is a wonderful way to get to know other women of faith and to provide an important service to our church. Circles meet monthly from September to May, and there are several days and times from which to choose. We have fellowship, a brief meeting, and a Bible study led by various members. Our study this year is Into the Light: Finding Hope through Prayers of Lament.
The Circles are:
Circle 1: First Tuesday of the month at 10 am in the lighthouse.
Circle 4: First Tuesday at 1:30 pm in the Fellowship Café.
Circle 5: First Wednesday at 7 pm in the Fellowship Café.
Circle 6: First Monday at 10:30 am in the Fellowship Café.
Circle 7: Third Tuesday at 7 pm in the Session House.
Of course, the first few meetings may have to be by Zoom due to our current situation, but hopefully, we can all be together soon.
Contact Nancy McAden to join a Circle or if you have any questions.
To schedule your Circle Meeting on Zoom contact our church Communications Facilitator, Cathy Wingfield - cathy@firstpresnb.org
