Women/Men’s Ministries
Presbyterian Women is an “all inclusive” organization and we welcome your participation in any one of our many activities. In addition to monthly church circles and monthly luncheons with a program, we have a rich heritage of financially supporting missions, locally and throughout the world. Instead of holding fundraising activities, we collect pledges annually to support our select group of recipients. Through the generosity of our congregation to our January pledge drive we annually are able to budget $7,000 towards missions. The organizations receiving support from Presbyterian Women include the following: Alzheimer Support Network, ECHO, Fun Time Early Childhood Academy, Grace Place, Guadalupe Social Services, Immokalee Friendship House, Medical Benevolence Foundation, Peace River Presbytery Missions, Presbytery and Synod Support, Project HELP Inc., St. Mathew’s House, The Salvation Army, and The Shelter for Abused Women and Children.
Our “hands-on” outreach includes our Prayer Shawl Ministry and the Sew and Sews group who are currently making quilts for the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance and little Iggie dolls for The Shelter for Abused Women and Children.

Each winter we sponsor a Blanket Sunday to collect blankets for Misión Peniel, one of our mission partners, and in the summer we collect funds and purchase school supplies for Grace Place. Our Stamp Ministry collects postage stamps which in turn create an income to support the preparation, publishing and distribution of Spanish language curriculum for Sunday Schools. And each Sunday we reach out to our congregation with the hospitality of serving cookies and punch. Presbyterian Women thank God for all of our varied opportunities to serve others with the love of Jesus. Hoping you might consider joining us in any one of our many projects. Blessings to you, Carolyn Bennett, Moderator
