Presbyterian Women are active in three Circles and Service Committees.
We offer fellowship groups i.e. Bible studies, Faithseekers and Clippership, which are couples’ groups.
Music is an important part of our ministry. We offer a vocal choir and Bell Choirs for both adults and children. We have a variety of individual musical talents as well.
A strong Deacon program does much of the calling and caring ministry to our members. Many members are involved in prayer chain for those in need.
The Endowment and Gifts Committee appropriates monies given as memorials.
Pastors are encouraged to join and attend the community Ministerial Association that meets once a month.
Special gifts, skills and experiences we have to fulfill our mission:
We are blessed with a generous congregation that enables us to contribute to the following programs: Grocery Cart Sunday, Meals on Wheels, Food Pantry and the Hastings College Scholarship program.
As a congregation we also support One Great Hour of Sharing, Westminster Woods, Sunday School local mission support and a joy offering. We provide on site worship service as well as communion for the local care home and the retirement center. An audio tape ministry is provided to the homebound members. We have a dedicated music program with a wide variety of talented people.
One of our strengths is a strong core of lay leadership within our congregation that is always willing to step forward and participate both in the church and in the community.
