PW News

 The following is a “Together in Service” report that Peg B. was asked to send to the PW (Presbytery).  This report was included in a report at the Spring Gathering.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how actively involved the Westminster Presbyterian Women are in the mission work of the Church.

• 19 sheets sent to be used in Third World Countries
• 3 quilts for Bellewood for boys
• Needle work:  3 prayer shawls, 14 Seamens’s scarves (for Waterways Mission) – 11 burial pocket/bonnet/bootie sets
• Monetary support for LIVING WATERS FOR THE WORLD
• Monetary support for HABITAT FOR HUMANITY (Paducah)
• Food, monetary and volunteer support for PCM
• Participation in the SALVATION ARMY Christmas stocking project
• Continued support with fund raising and our encouragement for the building of an inclusive/accessible playground for disabled in our local park

Peg also wrote:  “Perhaps some of these items listed do not fit neatly under the term of mission but they are all acts from the hearts from many caring women here at Westminster.”
