First Presbyterian Women

Dear First Presbyterian Women Members and Friends,

The purposes of The Presbyterian Women fellowship are:

• To support the mission of the church
• To help one another grow in Christian faith
• To act with Christian concern in the company of God’s people everywhere

Peace,

• Margie              Moderator
• Sandy                Vice-Moderator
• Marilyn             Secretary
• Karen                 Treasurer                                                                                                              

Due to the ongoing situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, all in-person events are cancelled through the end of the year.  Please see the Zoom events listed below.  Meanwhile, we are still honoring our Mission commitments.  If you are able to contribute to FPW, please contact Karen Cooper.  We appreciate your financial support.  We ask that you continue to pray for and support the women of FPC during this time when we can't be together in person.  You can do this through a phone call, an email, text, Zoom or Face-time, or a card.

Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.  1 John 4:11                                                                                                  

                                                                       FPW

     Since we are currently unable to meet in person we have cancelled the events that were previously scheduled for November and December.  HOWEVER, we have planned two Zoom events.  We hope you will join us on Tuesday, November 24th at 7:00 p.m., via Zoom for An Evening of Gratitude.  During the Thanksgiving season we often are thankful for our blessings.  Even though these last few months have been difficult for all of us, we can each find something for which to be grateful.  We are asking that you create a container (box, coffee can, jar, etc.) that will be your "blessing box."  You can be as creative as you want in decorating (or not) your container.  Think of the greatest blessing in your life.  We'll discuss things for which we are thankful and include them in your blessing box.  So have a pen and paper on which to write your blessings.  We hope this will be a time for us to connect, see each other's faces and enjoy an evening of fellowship.

     Also mark your calendars for Thursday, December 17th at 7:00 p.m., for our Ugly Sweater Zoom Christmas Party.  Come prepared to tell us about a favorite Christmas tradition of yours.   More details to follow.

     If you would like to join us for either or (hopefully) both of these events, R.S.V.P. to Margie Patterson at margiep6257@gmail.com with your email address so she can send you a Zoom invite prior to the two above mentioned dates.  If you need help getting started on Zoom, send her an email or call her at 330-750-6257.

     Those of you who chose a name last January for your Secret Sister, don't forget to reveal yourself sometime during the month of December!
