Women / Wednesday / The Word

Wednesday continues to be a day when women of the church and community gather to share fellowship and the study of the Bible. If you have never considered joining one of our classes, please feel free to jump in now and see what it is all about. There are studies meeting at four different times throughout the day: 6:45 a.m. - Word Before Work; 9:30 a.m. - 5 different classes from which to choose; 12 Noon - Lunch Hour Class; 7 p.m. - Evening Study. No matter what your Bible study experience, there is a class for you. Please come! If you have any questions, please call Linda Teets at 610-688-5230. Of special interest, a new weekly class began on February 10 at 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. taught by Angela Tait. Here is a brief description of A Study of Angels:

Messengers, guardians, warriors, demons ... in the unseen realms, powerful beings dwell. They move at the speed of light to carry out their master's will. These fantastic beings are called Angels.

Many Christians are misinformed about angels. Most of the resources claiming to tell us the truth about angels have explored every avenue EXCEPT the genuine source of truth - God's Word. Thirty-four of the Sixty-six books of the Bible talk about angels in detail. Every New Testament writer confirms their existence. Jesus, himself, attested to the role angels play in every realm of human activity.

In this study, we will explore what the Bible defines as the two distinct groups of angels - the holy angels of God and the evil angels who followed Satan into rebellion. We will discover their natures, characteristics, ministries and the roles angels play in our lives and in the life of the Church.

If time permits, we will also see how other religions view angels. Finally, we will investigate New Age thinking on angel guides.

Information on the other course offerings can be found in the Women's Bible Study brochure in the Connector or on the Wayne Presbyterian Church website under Adult Ministries. New classmates are always welcome!

which lights all things and gives rest.



Can We Pique Your Interest in Adult Education?

Record numbers registered for adult education classes on Sunday and Monday mornings tell us two things: we want, as a church family, to grow in our faith and in our understanding of the ways in which God's word impacts our lives; and the teachers and course offerings the Adult Education Committee lined up are to your liking!

Mission

Presbyterian Women hold an annual Christmas Marketplace and annual "Second Time Around" sale which raise more than $15,000 for various mission causes. They also support the "Least Coin" collection, have an active Needlecrafter group which produces many items for area Presbyterian homes, and work with these homes for the elderly in other volunteer capacities. These mission activities have the active participation of approximately 175 women.

Fellowship

Presbyterian Women hold several programs throughout the year which attract a good number of women. These usually have an informational or inspirational speaker. Five circles, including a Mother's Enrichment group for moms of young children, enrich the women's program. The circles involve approximately 70 women of the church and offer fellowship, opportunities for service, and some Bible study.

Fellowship Opportunities Throughout The Year

The Fellowship Committee of the church designs programs and activities to bring people together in Christ's love. Many events through the year are planned with the express purpose of fostering fellowship and dialogue. Here are some annual favorites: the All Church Picnic at Fenimore Park, the Ladies Christmas Tea, the Chili Supper which precedes our annual meeting each year. In addition, special events are planned throughout the year to include movie nights, new member dinners, and more..

If you have ideas for fellowship activities, contact the Fellowship Committee through Anne Clark Duncan in the church office at 610-688-8700, x221,

We would love to meet you and incorporate your ideas. It's fun, it's exciting, it's Fellowship!

Introducing ...

Presbyterian Women are going through a metamorphosis with their name! Beginning in June 2010, this group, which includes all female members of Wayne Presbyterian Church, will be known as WinGS ... Women in God's Service. We wanted a name that said a little bit about what we do and also indicated the fact that we are an active body who are engaged in serving God in many different ways. You will begin to see our new logo over the summer months ... look for the butterfly, a symbol of Christian resurrection. It reminds us of how God takes each one of us and transforms us from our old nature, turning us into women who are new creations; forgiven, alive and free to serve God. "Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new." -II Cor. 5:17 CEV. We hope that  all women of the church will take advantage of the many ways they can be involved in WinGS.
