We are all Presbyterian women defined by the fact that we are women and attend First Presbyterian Church. It’s not a group that you join. The Presbyterian women (PW) have a long tradition of organized bible study in small groups known as Circles. Our Circles are not closed to FPC women, in fact they are open and inviting. We have some great women that attend other area churches that participate in many of our Circles. Our small groups provide fellowship and friendship; and we have a short study of the written word. Our Circles are there to provide comfort when needed and support at all times.
Our small groups meet September through May and take the summer off. This is not a huge commitment, ladies - it’s one gathering a month!
For the ’23-24 year, we are studying Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke-Acts by Olive Mahabir. Within the pages of this study, you are invited to consider Jesus and Jesus’ disciples who shared the Good News through sacred encounters with everyday people.
Presbyterian women, if you are not participating in our small groups or if you have let your participation wane, then we invite you to come join us. We are organizing for the fall and have six interesting small groups for you. If you are participating in a Circle and have a great friend who would benefit from a group, bring her along.
