Presbyterian Women’s Ministry includes all women of the Presbyterian Church (USA). PW is a social and service group which also provides opportunities to study God’s Word. All women of the church are invited to participate in PW activities.
In 2024, we offered the following opportunities:
Women’s Fellowship Group (monthly meetings, September through May)
Sarah Women’s Fellowship meets at 7:00 pm on the 2nd Tuesday in members’ homes. For the beginning of the year (January through May), we completed a Bible Study offered by National PW/Horizons entitled, “Celebrating Sabbath”. Beginning with the September meeting, we began a new study, using the National PW/Horizons Bible Study once again, this year’s entitled “Sacred Encounters”. We continued with this study through our May 2024 meeting.
Plant and Bake Sale (May)
Thanks to those who provided baked goods and those who purchased them, as well as those of you who purchased flowering annuals, perennials, grasses, hanging baskets, etc., available for sale. This year we drove to Canton for their First Monday open market and purchased some of the plants there where prices are somewhat less expensive. After expenses ($500), we had a profit of $635.
On-Line Christmas Auction (December)
Thanks to the on-line expertise and assistance from Jennifer and Katherine, the Christmas auction was once again offered on-line. With the many and varied donations we received (over 100 items were donated) and the “customers” who purchased these items, we had another successful auction, raising over $2,000. Thank you for shopping with us!
