 Who are Presbyterian Women Presbyterian Women (PW) gives women the opportunity to study, to serve, to support and be supported and to fellowship in circles, mission outreach and other activities throughout the year. PW continues to grow and change to meet the needs of women today. Every woman at Second Presbyterian Church is part of the whole body of "Presbyterian Women" within our congregation and is invited and welcomed to participate in any way in the life of Presbyterian Women at All Ladies of Second Church - We’re Having a Baby Shower! Baby layettes are needed to send overseas for new mothers to receive and to provide an incentive for expectant mothers to come to mission hospitals for prenatal care. Working as a team, Presbyterian Women, International Health Ministries and our global partners formed this mission program that helps to meet long-term objectives while using resources efficiently. Requested infant supplies are:PW Together in Service Mission Project Onesies These items will be assembled and shipped to Presbyterian Church (USA) in New Windsor, MD for distribution to PW mission partners overseas where most needed. Please RSVP by calling the church office, 816-363-1300, or sign up on the Welcome Register by May 12, 2008. An invitation to you... As a Christian, committed to the call of Christ to be his disciple... As a Presbyterian, who finds meaning in the fellowship and ministry of the Church... As a person, whose life is filled with responsibilities and obligations to others... As a woman, who tries to juggle house duties, job demands and community service, yet often feels overburdened, lonely and her gifts unappreciated and undeveloped... As one who acknowledges the gifts of grace God has given her, and wants to respond in gratitude for these gifts, and use them for Gods purposes...

Study Circles will use Above and Beyond: Hearing God's Call in Jonah and Ruth by Carol M. Bechtel by Joyce MacKichan Walker What does it mean to hear God's call? It is often assumed that only those who go into some kind of formal, full-time ministry have heard a "call." In the 2007–2008 Horizons Bible study, Above and Beyond: Hearing God's Call in Jonah and Ruth, Old Testament scholar and pastor Carol Bechtel looks at what God's call meant for Jonah and Ruth. Not just a "fish story" or a "Cinderella tale," these biblical books, says Bechtel, offer us insight into what it means for each of us to hear and heed God's call. No matter where you are on your life's journey, this study will challenge you to ask, "What am I called to do? Who am I called to be? What am I called to say?"
