Presbyterian Women
PW Purpose: Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to nurture our faith by 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.

What My Grandmothers Taught Me: Learning from the Women in Matthew’s Genealogy of Jesus
by Merryl Blair
Make sure your Circle contacts the church to update your membership contact information for the Circle booklet and meeting dates and times. This looks to be an interesting study and more information will be coming out soon!
Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary—Matthew names these women for a reason. How might Jesus have heard the stories of his grandmothers? What might the young Jesus have felt as he heard about his family? What might the stories of these women have added to his sense of identity, as part of a particular family in a particular time and place?

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.
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 in the Ministry Center.
Circle 5: First Wednesday at 7 pm in the Fellowship Café in the Ministry Center.
Circle 6: First Monday at 10:30 am in the Fellowship Café in the Ministry Center.
Circle 7: Third Tuesday at 7 pm in the Session House.
