Our Changing PW

How do you see PW changing to meet the needs of our current and future members? Are you questing, researching, and asking your women -not just active OW, but all women?

Most of our groups are older women. Is this a good time to try to involve younger women? What does that look like?

Is your pastor's wife involved on some level?9You hired the pastor, not his wife.)

The Post-Covid (whenever that happens) reality is still open for ideas and actions. Be ready/prepared to move forward.

Church Level Leadership:

Before choosing new leadership, consider making timely changes/improvements to your programs and activities. This is really turning into a great time to make minor or monumental changes. Try to grow, try to add -  not subtract - more opportunities and programs.

Adjust your by laws and standing rules. It will also be important to re-evaluate in a few months and adjust accordingly.

PW and our Missions:

Northwood Presbyterian Women are planning a mission outreach for each month. This month it is underwear for : Drop Your Drawers" - underwear for children in need through Clothes To Kids, Inc.
