What Presbyterian Women Do

PW Gives Day commemorates the founding of Presbyterian Women and the ongoing journey of PW—the community that is PW and each individual woman who is PW! On this day (or any day between now and July 31), share your PW story, invite someone to participate in PW, and/or give in thanks for all that Presbyterian Women makes possible.

Presbyterian Women’s Online Churchwide Gathering Event will take place on August 5, 4–6 pm (Eastern). The event will be livestreamed and will include worship and plenary with inspiring speakers who will help viewers find new ways to “Rejoice in Hope.”

Eliza Clokey of Springfield, Ohio, planted the seed for the Thank Offering in 1888 when she urged each woman to give one dollar over and above her usual contribution to the Women’s General Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of North America. Since then, faithful givers have responded to Eliza’s call to give a “thank offering to her Lord.”
