Presbyterian Women in March

The Horizons Bible study Come to the Waters is still capturing our attention when our two Circles, Rachel and Lydia, meet each month. Because each chapter is a “stand-alone” study about one of the many Biblical references to water, we invite all ladies who do not belong to a Circle to come visit and consider joining a Circle. This month Rachel Circle meets Tuesday, March 8, in Annex 3 at 2:30 p.m. on; Lydia Circle meets on Wednesday, March 9, at 9:00 a.m. in Annex 2.

Gatherings: A bring-your-own sack lunch was enjoyed on February 24th. The annual Birthday Offering was received. There is no PW Gathering in March. However, we have an Invitation to a special event in our West Valley! Nancy Childress has made us aware of the Desert Streams Spring Tea on Saturday, March 5th, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Location: Grace Lutheran Church, 15820 W. Clearview Blvd., Sun City Grand. Tickets are $20 and available at the door. Please notify Gail Bickel (623-815-7290) or Nancy (623-974-3882) if you plan to attend.

• Wednesday, April 27: This is our popular annual Salad Luncheon at 11:30 a.m., with Circles providing a potpourri of homemade salads. Program will be a video, Women of the Bible.

Kitchen Shower: Those who work often (and long!) in our kitchen have observed that most of the linens—tea towels and dish cloths—are becoming threadbare. Let’s try to remember to bring extras we may have at home, or buy new items to donate.

“Action” items needed, always: Just inside the main entrance to Swain Hall is a place to leave “Education labels” (found on cereal boxes and soup cans). Personal hygiene items for Eve’s Place (shelter for women of domestic violence) may be brought to gatherings.

PWP Recommended Reading: Each year new titles are suggested and some purchased for our collection. Take time to browse through the collection of books that are available to check out.
