All Women of Hillside Presbyterian Church

You are invited to become a part of “Presbyterian Women” (PW). A group of more than 200,000 women around the world working for a shared purpose.
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Presbyterian Women commit to:

  • nurture their faith through prayer and Bible study,
  • support the mission of the church worldwide,
  • work for justice and peace, and
  • build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

Please join the Presbyterian Women of Hillside each month for their meeting and Bible Study. The first meeting is:

Saturday, September 26, 2020
2:00 PM

Please reply to this newsletter to request meeting logistics information.
Bible Study

After each meeting Bible Study is led by Elder Alice Moore.

The title of this year’s Bible Study is “Into the Light: Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament” by P. Lynn Miller.

In this nine-lesson study, Lynn Miller revives lament as a proper theological response to the difficult situations of our world. One of the foundational points of the study is that, in scripture, lament usually leads to hope. After crying out to God, the one who laments remembers God. And while that doesn’t fix things in the moment—the injustice, the loss still exists—the lamenter is strengthened to face the world and to hope. Recovering lament may be one of the church’s most timely gifts to the world
