*Presbyterian Women*	Contact: Ailsa Blunk Phone: 248-344-4094 Email: lemonblunk@aol.com
Overview of Program:
Presbyterian Women (PW) is a church-wide organization whose membership is open to all women. Their members are women who choose to participate in or be supportive of the organization in any way. PW intentionally seeks the membership of women from all ages, interests, backgrounds and talents so that the organization may reflect a vision of the whole church. We have one thing in common, though, the desire to make a difference. Presbyterian Women is organized at all levels of the PC (USA) in congregations, presbyteries, and synods as well as the General Assembly. This interconnected system allows ideas and information to continually flow back and forth to strengthen the work of Presbyterian Women and the ministry of the Presbyterian Church (USA). In 1892, six Presbyterian Women organized "The Ladies Aid Society" here at FPCP. Their purpose was to "assist the Church with financial and social concerns." For 115 years our focus has remained the same, and the women of our Church have honored this pledge. We hope you will also continue to support this time-honored tradition.
Ministry focus:
Presbyterian Women’s purpose is: "Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to: Nurture our faith through prayer and bible study Support the mission of the church worldwide Work for justice and peace Build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God's Kingdom.”
