FORMATION:
Presbyterian Women
This year’s Presbyterian Women’s Bible Study is Let Justice Roll Down: God’s Call to Care for Neighbors and All Creation, by Patricia Tull.
We are called to care for neighbors and God’s creation with all our hearts, with particular care for society’s least powerful members who are disproportionately impacted by unjust systems. In God’s first instructions to the nation of Israel we hear “you shall not pervert the justice due to the poor” (Exodus 23:6); in Moses’ final speech at the promised land’s border, he reiterated, “Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20); and from Amos, the earliest recorded prophet, “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream” (Amos 5:24). Scripture reminds us that we are called to speak out to urge our society to act for just transitions in this fast-changing world.
We would like to encourage all of you to join a Women’s 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 (see below for details). We have fellowship, a brief meeting, and a Bible study led by various members.
