PURPOSE OF

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

 

 

 

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;

 

And to build an inclusive,

 

Caring community of women that

 

Strengthens the Presbyterian Church

 

And witnesses to

 

The promise of God's kingdom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GIVING PATTERNS FOR PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

Presbyterian Women's giving is known as "second mile giving" because it is over and above our regular church pledge.

            Our purpose, in part, states " We commit ourselves to support the mission of the church worldwide and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the church and witnesses to the promise of God's Kingdom."

 

ONGOING GIVING

            This is our local unit's yearly pledge to the general mission work of our church.  Bethany's pledge this year is $1,800.  See the Mission Yearbook of Prayer to learn where our money goes.

 

THE BIRTHDAY OFFERING

            This offering, received in the Spring, replaces Medical Mission Offering.  The monies are used for projects chosen on the basis of meeting needs of "hurting people."

 

THE THANK OFFERING

            This is a special offering, received in the Fall to recognize God's blessings to us.

33% goes to Medical Missions and 67% to New Creative Missions.

 

FELLOWSHIP OF THE LEAST COIN

            This fund is administered by Church Women United.  Women of many nations contribute the coin of least denomination of their country.
