The Women’s Ministry at First Presbyterian is under the direction of the Women of the Church (WOC).  We provide opportunities for Bible Study, Fellowship and Service for all of the women of the church. The moderator for the Women of The Church Council for this year is Barbara Paschal.

Our annual events include:

• Fall Festival Dinner
• Sisters in Christ Luncheon
• Good Friday Breakfast
• A Retreat

Our Service opportunities include:  making shoeboxes for the migrant worker children in Clewiston, the regular collection of diapers and baby wipes for First Care Crisis Pregnancy Center, supporting Kairos Outside weekends, and an annual shower for FIrst Care Crisis Pregnancy Center.

We also have a Prayer Shawl ministry on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 2 pm in the Library.  Join others in knitting or crocheting prayer shawls for others.  If you don’t know how to do either, we will teach you!

Our Bible Study opportunities are two fold.  Women in the Word (WIW) meets for two semesters each year.  There are usually two studies offered each semester.  The other Women’s Bible study is on Wednesday Evening with our other discipleship classes.

Other Fellowship opportunities include Fellowstitch, which meets on Wednesday mornings during the fall/winter season and many home ladies groups that vary from Bible study to volunteering at a shelter.  Both of these type of groups allow women to get together and work on personal projects and have become groups that care for one another through life events.

We at First Presbyterian desire all the women of the church to be involved.  If you would like to be a member of a committee that plans events or part of the council, please contact Sarah McDonnell at 622-8818.
