Small Groups
Women’s Ministries
Presbyterian Women offer Highland women and their guests a variety of opportunities for spiritual growth and Christian fellowship. Bible studies, retreats, local and international service ministries, and other activities bring Jesus to life in a variety of powerful ways. The coordinating team meets the second Thursday of each month at 10:00. We invite you to check out these fellowship activities:
Women’s Book Discussion Group
As Christian women living in and not apart from our world, we, in Presbyterian Women, hope to offer a safe environment for women to meet to discuss the challenges and opportunities of life as presented in the selected books.
- Meets the fourth Wednesday, September and October, and January through May at 1pm in Room 208. In November and December we meet the third Wednesday due to the holidays in the fourth week.
- Bringing a snack or bag lunch is optional.
- Book lists are available in the church office on the table by the reception desk and at the Welcome Center. Members of the group lead the book discussions although sometimes it is just done as a group. It is hoped that each person will be familiar with the book selected for that month and participants are encouraged to offer insights and opinions from their personal experiences. Books for the following year are chosen from suggestions by the group and are voted on and announced in May. Books contain a broad range of subject matter including non-fiction and one classic.
- For more information, please contact Judy Eyster or Marge Carpenter or check the monthly announcements in the Heartbeat.
