Presbyterian Women’s "Do Everything in Love Day!" | |
|
As we observed Ash Wednesday yesterday, many of us were understandably focused on the start of the Lenten season. The Presbyterian Women were simultaneously sharing God's love and hope to the world. Although your partner may not agree, it's not too late to celebrate Valentine's Day by joining their cause and demonstrating your support.
“Do everything in love,” based on 1 Cor. 16:13–14 (NIV), is the theme for this year's Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women. Your support of PW’s Annual Mission Fund provides the financial foundation for PW and makes possible the Churchwide Gathering, to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, August 8–11, 2024. Registration opens in March.
“Do Everything in Love” and show your support of Presbyterian Women—your sisters in Christ and our shared PW ministry that provides a faithful and caring community for us to live and love and thrive.
