PW Birthday Celebration 6/24

All women of our church are invited to the annual Birthday Celebration of Presbyterian Women on Sunday, June 24th in the Rec. Room immediately following the 11 a.m. worship service. Everyone is asked to bring their favorite salad dish (congealed salad, chicken salad, fruit salad, etc.), and we will enjoy sharing a salad luncheon together. A nursery will be provided, so young mothers are encouraged to attend.

During the program, the annual Birthday Offering will be received. In 1922, Hallie Winsborough challenged every member of her Woman's Auxiliary to contribute a "birthday gift" to Miss Dowd's School for Girls in Kochi, Japan. So this year we celebrate the 85th anniversary of the PW "birthday gift." One of the five recipients of this year's offering is our Synod's project: Clean Water U Program, whose training sessions are held on the grounds of Camp Hopewell. Please plan to give generously to this year's Birthday Offering.
