.Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women offers fellowship, study and service opportunities for all women and it meets regularly on the second Monday of each month, September through May. Presbyterian Women is a church wide organization with thousands of members. We, at South Plains, are members with others in the Presbytery of the James, Synod of the Mid-Atlantic. This organization plays a large role in international mission support and emphasizes all types of service. This year meetings will resume in September.

The Bible Study for the year is "Journey through Revelation: Apocalyptic Hope for Today." This study seeks to help us become more familiar with the book of Revelation,, seeing in it a message of "Hope" for the Church, Christ's body of believers.This promises to be a most interesting study, remind and re-emphasizing for us God's message of "hope," as revealed to John, God's servant during his days of imprisonment. These lessons will offer us a better understanding of this much misunderstood book. Copies of the study are available for all members of P.W. More can be ordered, as needed.

*Stamps for Missions* (By Janice Haire)
To any member of Presbyterian Women, and to any member of the South Plains Congregation who has contributed to saving stamps for Missions, both Peggy Reinhold and I say, "Thank You." Mrs. Reinhold tells me that the large collection of Redwood Forest, Black Cinema, television, radio, Disney memories, as well as other commemorative stamps sold well at good prices. Keep it up and cut your stamps wisely so there is a clean border. Our missions need us! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Presbyterian Coffee Project offers a special link between congregations and communities around the world. Churches can now reach out to neighbors overseas not only with the prayers and offerings we give, but with the goods and products we purchase. On the table in our Manse you will find a full line of fairly traded coffees in bulk whole bean, packaged whole bean and drip grind, percolator grind as well as chocolate bars.

Fair trade shares the bounty of the coffee trade with those who grow the crop, helping them build a better future for themselves and their communities. Through fair trade, farmers earn a fairer share of income, have access to services that are otherwise unavailable and gain long-term trading partners they can trust.
