What does PW D0?
You're a Member!
All women of our congregation are members of Presbyterian Women. Presbyterian women are a part of the larger organization Presbyterian Women Auxiliary which supports Bible study, advocates for peace and justice worldwide and sponsors mission work around the world.
PW Mission Work
Presbyterian Women organize several activities each year to support church, local and worldwide missions. In 2019, money was given to Janus, Good Samaritan Network, Noblesville Boys & Girls Club, Samaritan’s Purse, and scholarships for youth attending camp PYOCA.
Get Involved
Core Team meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm. We are currently looking for members to join our Core Team to plan activities, enjoy fellowship, Bible study and support our church’s ministries through fundraising. Please call the church office, 317.773.2383 for more information or contact Ann Green, moderator at greeninsurance@comcast.net
Operation Christmas Child
Christmas in July Shoebox Ministry
Look for the white Christmas tree in fellowship hall to get information about our beginning of “Christmas in July”! starting of Christmas Shoebox ministry!
There is a list of suggestions on the tags on the tree. Take one or two and shop that week for your love gifts. There will be a collection box each week, or month, for your finds.
This can be a fun family project! Maybe decide to build one box for each of your adult children/ grandchildren. Set yourself a goal and then look out for store sales! We then will have our tree filled with wish cards for our future boxes and packing party in November!
Need Gift Ideas?
July: We are asking for personal hygiene items (boy/girl ages 2-14) and clothing such as baseball hats, ribbons, hair clips, flip flops, underwear, socks etc.
Pray about what God leads you to do!
