Presbyterian Women (PW) is open to all women, as everyone has something unique to offer. Part of PW’s purpose is “to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.” Strong and caring women accomplish this purpose. Typically, a PHPC pastor reviews the day’s lesson, and then we break into Circles for in-depth discussion. Childcare is available by reservation 48 hours in advance.

No Embarrassment, No Excuses Bible Study

6:45-7:45 a.m.
Room: Conference Room
|
Wednesdays
11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Room: Jubilee Hall E & F or Parlor

No Embarrassment, No Excuses Bible Study is designed for anyone wanting to be part of a non-threatening exploration of the scriptures and the character of the Christian life. This fall the group will study the New Testament Letters of Peter, which are rich in theological and spiritual messages.
The 6:45 a.m. class attracts those who enjoy lively conversation and study on the way to work. The only requirement is an open heart and mind, and a willingness to learn from one another. The 11:00 a.m. class includes a number of our more “mature” members (who also participate in some of the other “Wonderful Wednesday” activities), but all age groups are represented.
