Presbyterian Women

The Presbyterian Women (PW) is an organization of women in the Presbyterian Church (USA). 
Each church may elect to have its own chapter.  Ours is very active in the life of our church.  Some of the activities that the PW do are:

  • Organize meals for church members who have had surgery or who have lost a family member.
  • Make lap blankets for our home bound church members.
  • Contribute time, talent, and treasures to our own local ministry, Fayette Cares.
  • Raise money for local and worldwide causes such as:
    • Pinecrest Convention Center and Retreat in LaGrange, TN
    • Books for seminarians at Louisville Seminary in Louisville, KY
    • Student funding for the Friendship Circle at Columbia Theology Seminary in Atlanta, GA
    • Housing renovation for Mexican immigrant women at LaMujer Obrera, Centro Mayapan in El Paso, TX
    • Children’s Home for Orphans in the Ukraine

The PW Circle at First Presbyterian Church meets for a study group and lunch at 10:30 a.m. on the second Monday of each month from September to May.
