NetWorkers Mother's Day Mission Project  

Please join the Presbyterian Women in

supporting the NetWorker's Mother's Day

Mission Project.  This project is an opportunity

for Presbyterians to help protect mothers

and children in Africa from malaria while we

honor our own mothers.  Your donation will

provide mosquito nets and malaria prevention

education programs in six countries in Africa

and Asia.  NetWorkers Mother's Day cards will

be available in the Narthex on Sunday, 

April 27 and Sunday, May 4.  Please stop by 

the Presbyterian Women's Missions table and

make a donation to this worthwhile project.

In turn, you will receive a Mother's Day card to

send to someone you love letting them know that

a donation has been made in their honor. 

Any questions, please contact Lisa Chappell at 355-0201.  

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

           Our Mission    Presbyterian Women offers opportunities for women

    to strengthen our relationship with Jesus Christ through Bible study,

    prayer, discipleship, and fellowship, so that we may serve the Lord in

    our personal lives, our church, our community, and our world.

        We encourage our new church members as well as women who

    are current church members, but not actively involved in these

    opportunities to join other women at First Presbyterian in growing

    spiritually, enjoying fellowship, and serving our Lord in the ways that

    best fit your needs, time, gifts, and talents.

      Coordinating Team   The Presbyterian Women’s Coordinating

    Team meets monthly for an information and idea exchange. The

    purpose of the program and organization of the Presbyterian women

     is to provide opportunities for individual women and those in groups,

    to grow in the knowledge of Christ.

      Circles   There are presently 4 circles giving opportunities of

    service to God and to others. Schedules are printed in the weekly

    newsletter and in the bulletins. A vital part of each meeting is the

    Bible study presented by dedicated Bible study leaders. We have

    two morning circles – Circle 1 meets on Monday @10:00AM at the

    church. Wendy Farrior is the Circle Leader (439-0707). Cypress

    Glen Circle meets on Tuesday @10:00AM at Cypress Glen. (but not

    limited to Cypress Glen residents).  Connie Bond and Genet Lilley  are the 

    Circle Leaders. (Connie- 752-8179)  Our two night circles are

    Circle 3, which meets Monday @ 7:30 PM in members’ homes.

    Elaine Nagy is the Circle Leader (321-6561). Circle 6 meets

    Tuesday @ 7:00 PM in members’ homes.  Jeri Jackson (215-0648)

    and Gail Joyner (756-0501) are the Circle Leaders.  Each circle has

    its own very rewarding mission project for the year.

        Gatherings   Presbyterian Women’s gatherings are held in Fall,

     Winter, and Spring.  The Fall and Winter Gatherings are Luncheons,

    while the Spring Gathering is a Dinner.

        Tasting Function    Our February Tasting Function has become

     very popular throughout the area.  Our proceeds from this each year

    go to the Greenville Utilities Neighbor to Neighbor “matching funds”

    program to help provide warmth during the cold winter months to

    those who are in need. Our tasting function this February will be a

    “Southern Favorites”. Pam Finch (355-7693, Jennifer Little (355-

    2142) and Ginger M. Minges (752-5812) are the Special Projects

    Moderators in charge of the planning of this event. Call either of

    them, or one of the Moderators, to get involved in this fun time!

       Bereavement   One phase of our organization is to provide meals

    to families of our church members at the time of a death. Marilee

    Little (756-1507) is the moderator for this committee.

       Flower Rearranging    Circle members take turns rearranging

    our sanctuary flowers to be delivered to those unable to

    attend the worship service.

       Scholarship  Each year we offer scholarship(s) to deserving

    college students who are members of our Church. Kristie Wood

    (552-6937) is the moderator of our Scholarship Committee.
