PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
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
* to build an inclusive, caring community of women that
strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promises of God’s kingdom.
PW: A CELEBRATION OF GIVING
THANK OFFERING: This offering continues the 100-year tradition of supporting mission throughout the world by the former UPW. Thirty-three percent of the Thank Offering is set aside for hospitals and health-related programs overseas and in the USA. Monies are collected in the autumn.
FELLOWSHIP OF THE LEAST COIN: Each woman prayerfully contributes each month her "least coin" to be used for God's work among all Christian women in the world. This is the ecumenical emphasis of Church Women United.
BIRTHDAY OFFERING: Begun in 1922 on the anniversary of the beginning of Women of the Church. Predetermined large projects (no more than 3) are selected by the Creative Ministries Offering Committee. Projects include mission programs overseas and in the USA. Monies are collected in the spring.
HONORARY LIFE MEMBERS: An Honorary Life Membership in Presbyterian Women (USA) is conferred upon an individual in recognition of faithful service in some area of the church's work. Funds derived from Honorary Life Memberships are used for Presbyterian Women leadership training costs, support of leadership development events for women, and assistance for training of leaders for mission interpretation and support.
