Churchwide Gathering Aug 8~11
Do Everything in Love
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!

Fall is coming – no matter how hot we still are in Florida. Have you come up with any new ideas for your PW? My church has a moving, lighted sign and we are putting our programs on it! It is on a well-traveled street and is easy to read. All women welcome!
Our Sewing Ministry has been using this sign for a couple of months and it is now a growing ministry!
Start planning your 2025 Thank Offering – November will be here before you know it! 10 recipients this year!
There is a Synod of the South Atlantic Gathering, Finding our Joy, on St. Simon’s Island, GA October 17 ~ 19, 2025. We are combining with the Synod of Living Waters! Please register prior to September 2 to avoid the late fee.
Start planning now to join us! There are about 7 weeks to plan and prepare. Questions? Contact the Coordinating Team.
Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ - Hope you enjoy the 2025-2026 Bible Study – looks good to me.
One PW has their Circle Calendar ready to distribute to let everyone know the schedule because some months are the fourth Monday and some are the third Monday because of federal or other holidays. Our women can mark their new 2026 calendars when they get them. Sometimes we need to be intentional about planning ahead.
