Moms of all ages are encouraged to participate in fellowship and Bible study. This fall, we will begin using Mom to Mom Ministry’s Heart Talk curriculum as we grow in our faith and put our hope in the awesome God who entrusted us with his children. In addition to study-based meetings, we meet several times a month for play days with our kids and moms’ nights out (without kids). We also have an occasional Mom’s Night Out. We invite you to come to whatever activities fit in your schedule. Click here for details on events.
TUESDAY WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
9:30–11:30 a.m. (Beginning January 12)
Covenant Hall
Contact: Judy Kruger (210.857.0122)
Breaking Free: The Journey, The Stories by Beth Moore, leads you through a study of the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian freedom. Based on Isaiah 61:1-4, this in-depth Bible study draws parallels between the captive Israelites and today's believers. Beth uses Scripture to help identify spiritual strongholds in your life, no matter how big or small. She explains that anything that hinders us from the benefits of knowing God is bondage. Breaking Free is Beth's life message that she wants to share with you. Participants will meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Covenant Hall (3rd floor). Workbook is available in preparation for weekly small group meetings and video session. Suggested donation for workbook is $16. Child care is available by reservation. Women of all ages are encouraged to attend. If you have questions or to register, call Judy Kruger at (210) 857.0122.

If you are a woman and a member of our church, you are a member of Presbyterian Women! Presbyterian Women is comprised of 19 circles whose activities include fellowship, Bible study and service to others. There are 12 Bible Study circles, three sewing circles, a knitting and crocheting circle, a Literary Circle that reads and reviews nine books during the year, a Circle of Service and a Care and Concern Circle, which provides food for members of the church who are ill or bereaved. Whatever your age, interests or schedule needs, there is a group you would enjoy, and that would love to include you. Other Presbyterian Women’s activities include luncheons and evening events which feature fellowship as well as entertaining and thought-provoking programs. We coordinate the Christmas basket program for needy families and help with Christmas International House. Presbyterian Women host Christmas parties at area nursing homes, the Christmas Eve dinner for the pastors and choir members, the children’s Easter Egg Hunt and the PW Birthday Offering Coffee in May. Circles meet at various times and locations throughout the month.
