Who is planning to “Gather at the River” for the August 8-11 Churchwide Gathering? Let’s make some plans! Check out the information at presbyterianwomen.org and please let Susan know you are going.
Early registration ended April 30 but you may still download the form and mail it in. The motel room is running $185 (we figure 2 to a room is reasonable) and air fare seems to be around $300.
There is some financial assistance that will be divided after the gathering.
Please be aware there are long walks between your room, meetings, meals, and workshop spaces. Plan accordingly.
Robin is looking to travel with others – Which airline & flight # are you using, (I am booked on Southwest) how are you planning to get to the hotel – thinking the light rail looks interesting? Etc.
The Synod of the South Atlantic’s luncheon is at noon Saturday during the Churchwide Gathering at the Marriot Courtyard (where most of us are staying) and you can reserve your place at the table when you register.
It is time for serious planning so let us know your plans for Churchwide in St. Louis!

October Harvest
October’s harvest fills the air,
A symphony of nature's yield,
Fields of gold, beyond compare,
Bounty's blessing gently revealed
I hope you each survived Helene without much damage. One thing I am going to add to my hurricane prepared kit is some simple projects that require no electricity – I can’t stand just sitting in the house with only reading and playing games on my tablet all day long - kind of a boring few days. Maybe I could have cleaned closets and cabinets?
There is a Synod of the South Atlantic Gathering on St. Simon’s Island, GA October 17 ~ 19, 2025. We are combining with the Synod of Living Waters! Plan to join us! This is a great time to connect with friends and make some new ones!
Everyone is invited to the Presbyterian Women of Trinity Clearwater Gathering on Wednesday, November 13 at 10:00 am in our Fellowship Hall.
The special speaker will be G. Andrew Gracy, Attorney at Law. He is an entertaining lawyer who will talk about all those necessary documents and plans every adult (that means anyone 21 or older) needs to have in place as we age. Stop by and learn things you need to know. This is open to everyone – Presbyterian Women, Men, your friends and family.
The address is 2001 Rainbow Drive, Clearwater. The office/entrance actually faces Cirus Avenue (around the corner) so plan to use that entrance and park in the lot across the street or on the North side of the church.
The Holidays are coming! Have you started thinking about and planning your holiday celebrations? It is never too early to start thinking about what you would like to do or places you would like to go. Maybe you have a huge family dinner or just a few of your friends over for a movie and dessert.
How does your PW celebrate the season? Maybe you bake cookies for the home bound or maybe have a craft day making ornaments or little gifts? How about a white dinner for the first day of Winter with a white meat, potatoes, cauliflower, and frozen fruit salad? Vanilla ice cream or white cake for dessert?
Might be time to start something new – let me know so I can share the ideas next month in the November Glad Tidings!
