PW Birthday Offering
With many circle meetings being held virtually, if at all, it is worth mentioning the 2020 Presbyterian Women Birthday offering.
Less we forget our annual pledge to this worthy cause!
Celebrating Life's Blessings
“But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more” (Ps. 71:14).

Please give so that this mission can continue!

The Birthday Offering is one of Presbyterian Women’s two offerings. Received in the spring each year, it gives women a tangible way to celebrate the blessings in their lives. The Birthday Offering funds up to five projects each year, in amounts of $75,000 to $150,000 each. The recipients are selected before the offering is received, so grant amounts depend on the gifts received.

Each year, the Birthday Offering awards grants to up to five programs. Primarily making possible capital improvement projects, the Birthday Offering supports domestic and international ministries, focusing on areas such as agricultural development, child care, community organization, criminal justice, drug counseling, economic justice, elderly care, employment training, homelessness, literacy, violence or women’s concerns.

While usually made to the local PW Chapters, in these unusual times, donations/checks can also be sent directly to the New Hope Presbytery Treasurer, Linda Barnes

Intro to 2021 PW/ Horizons Bible Study
Into the Light: Finding Hope through Prayers of Lament , by Lynn Miller
"...together we are the body of Christ. When one of us rejoices, we all rejoice. When one of us laments, we all lament. That is one comfort of our faith: we are invited to be who God made us to be, but we do not walk through this world alone"
