Presbyterian Women: We are a diverse and caring group of women who meet monthly in Circles and semi-annually for Gatherings. Our women nurture their faith through prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and mission. We share joys and concerns and pray together, learn about mission opportunities, and contribute to local and church wide causes. We have a good time as we grow spiritually. We are enriched in our relationships with one another and with God. Occasionally, we have special dinners, luncheons, picnics, etc., which offer great opportunities for fellowship and fun. We have 5 Circles (small groups) which meet monthly, as well as a group fo women who meet to pack good used clothing on the third and fourth Tuesdays of each month. If you are interested in being part of a Circle, please contact the Presbyterian Women (PW) Membership Coordinator, Anne Kovacs at 732-833-9366
