Presbyterian Women 2005-2006 Report

Presbyterian Women have just completed another year of seeking to nurture our faith through prayer, Bible study, missions, and Christian fellowship.

In May the Circles concluded the 2005-2006 Bible study, For Everything, A Season, which was an interesting study of the Liturgical Calendar.

We have had a busy year serving in many church projects and activities:

• This year Presbyterian Women sponsored the church-wide project Operation Christmas Child and responded to the need for frozen casseroles to help feed Katrina workers on the Gulf Coast.
• Our Presbyterian Women hosted the Cluster Meeting last August with ladies attending from churches in areas A & B of St. Andrew Presbytery.
• Some of our Presbyterian Women attended a Fall Retreat at the Grenada Presbyterian Church in October.
• A group of our Presbyterian Women attended the Spring Gathering at Hernando Presbyterian Church in March.
