What Presbyterian Women Do

What My Grandmothers Taught Me: Learning from the Women in Matthew’s Genealogy of Jesus by Merryl Blair with Suggestions for Leaders by Magdalena I. García explores stories of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. These stories will lead us into the good news about Jesus Christ and provide us with a richer idea of what the good news is.

PW’s newsletter NewsBytes brims with news you can use about Presbyterian Women’s ministries, resources and network. Find out what’s new with PW’s Board, the Online Churchwide Gathering Event and more in the Spring 2021 PW NewsBytes.

The Birthday Offering of Presbyterian Women celebrates our history of generous giving. Launched in 1922 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Women’s Auxiliary in the Presbyterian Church in the United States, the Birthday Offering has become an annual tradition.

Presbyterian Women’s 2021 Churchwide Gathering has been cancelled. Presbyterian Women will still gather online for worship and program, and PW’s Business Meeting will also be held online.

As PW groups hold meetings virtually, we are presented with a new way of being PW. One new way of being is a virtual installation of leaders, using an adapted version of the installation service from the March/April 2020 issue of Horizons.

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.”
