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 womenis 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. Lisa Chappell is the Circle Leader (355-0201). Cypress Glen Circle meets on Tuesday @10:00AM at Cypress Glen (but not limited to Cypress Glen residents). Connie Bond is the Circle Leader (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 14 will be a “Healthy Favorites” theme. Jennifer Little (355- 2142), Ginger M. Minges (752-5812) and Kristie Wooten (341-9356) are the Special Projects Moderators in charge of the planning of this event. Call any 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) and Antionette Patterson (413-0636) are the moderators 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. Kathy Floyd (355-8888) is the moderator of our Scholarship Committee.
