The purpose of Presbyterian Women is “Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ,

and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to: nurture our faith

through prayer and Bible study, support the mission of the church worldwide, work

for justice and peace, and build an inclusive, caring community of women that

strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God’s

kingdom.”

We at Calvin Presbyterian Church are part of an active and vital organization within

this church and on the Presbytery level. Presbyterian Women takes the lead

involving the rest of our congregation in local, national, and worldwide mission

projects. We:

• Collect Food for Thanksgiving Baskets which are distributed to local families

• Collect paper goods for the LINCS food pantry

• Provide Refreshments for the Christmas music program at Norwood Terrace Health Center

• Prepare dinners for family and friends following funerals in our church

• Participate in and attend Presbytery level gatherings during the Spring and Fall

• Sponsor activities and sandwich suppers for our congregation during the Advent Season

• Participate in World Day of Prayer service held each year in local community churches

• Plan and lead Gifts of Women Worship Service each year
