Presbyterian Women

The annual Celebration of the
Gifts of Women is sponsored by
the Presbyterian Women (PW) group
at First Presbyterian. The special service
will be held on May 4, 2025, under the
guidance of Elaine Wiegert, acting moderator.

The service will be followed by the PW Birthday Offering Brunch to support grants for domestic and international missions. The recipients of this year’s grants are Leland Presbyterian Church, Leland, Miss. and Lakota Thiyuha Dome Home Project, Pine Ridge, S.D.

PW activities throughout the year also include:

Knit & Stitch

The Knit & Stitch group makes a variety of craft items, such as necklaces, scarves, and quilts, to sell at local craft fairs and farmers’ markets. We raise funds for missions and projects we support in our local and worldwide community.

Monthly Bible Study

The PW meet on the second Tuesday of each month for a Bible study conducted by one of our members. Each woman brings her own lunch; dessert and beverages are provided.

We have all been blessed with various gifts: crafting, cooking, hosting, organizing, teaching, gardening. Please bring your talents and enjoy the fellowship of the PW.

Our Purpose

Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus 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 to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthen the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God’s Kingdom
