Presbyterian Women

A circle is:
• Where faith is nurtured and growth take place through worship, study, friendship and outreach.
• Where women are challenged to stretch beyond their limits.
• Where women move beyond the safe places of life and reach out to others.
• Provides a Christian community in which women can be strengthened and supported in their needs, concerns, joys and sorrows.
• Enlarges and enriches the knowledge women have about the Bible, the Christian church, the work of God in the world today and the needs of others in the community and the world. 
• Motivates and provides women opportunities to put their faith into action, to work for justice and peace in their own families, churches, communities and worldwide through personal involvement, financial gifts and prayer.
• Where Christian leadership is born, nurtured and sent forth into ministry. 
• Offers shared leadership.
