Women's Ministries
Women's Bible Study at New Time
The study this year will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings in Room 308 for two five-week sessions, the first from October 25 to November 22, and the other in the spring. This format will allow greater continuity of study of the book of Joshua and the land in which the book is set. Please read the book of Joshua ahead of time. Contact Beth Forbes at forbesbeth@aol.com for information. The study book, "Joshua--a Journey of Faith," by Mary Mikhael, is available in the church office for $7.
Women's Circle
The Women's Circle is a new program offered by Catherine Janjigian. Focus this year is on Rob Bell's video series, Nooma, and his other literature. Women experience deep spirituality and rest. We explore new angles on stories in the Bible and gauge their effect on ourselves as busy women in this day and age. Catherine also treats us to moments of great focus through breathing techniques based on her yoga training. Class size is limited, but inquiries may be made to Dawn Heerema or Catherine Janjigian. We meet twice a month on Tuesday evenings in the Chapel, 7:30-9 p.m. All women are invited to attend when openings permit.
Presbyterian Women
This group is active within several other groups, including Feisty Ladies, Bagels and Bible Study, Moms' Morning Out, and HerStory. Each year the women go on at least one weekend retreat. They meet as a larger group once a month, in order to become better acquainted with and connected to projects and concerns of Presbyterian Women worldwide.
Feisty Ladies
This ministry of care and service includes the making of lap blankets and prayer shawls for those hospitalized or homebound, knitting infant and children's caps for distribution at Valley Hospital, Asheville, NC, Armenia, and the homeless shelter. The members also make hand-sewn head scarves for those undergoing chemotherapy and cut stamps for use by the Veterans' Association
Moms Group
Once a month on a Wednesday morning, there is a speaker and program addressing crucial areas of interest to mothers. This is a chance not only to participate in a stimulating program but a wonderful opportunity to get to know other moms and enjoy some social time.
