Who is planning to “Gather at the River” for the August 8-11 Churchwide Gathering? Let’s make some plans! Check out the information at presbyterianwomen.org and please let Susan know you are going.
Early registration ended April 30 but you may still download the form and mail it in. The motel room is running $185 (we figure 2 to a room is reasonable) and air fare seems to be around $300.
There is some financial assistance that will be divided after the gathering.
Please be aware there are long walks between your room, meetings, meals, and workshop spaces. Plan accordingly.
Robin is looking to travel with others – Which airline & flight # are you using, (I am booked on Southwest) how are you planning to get to the hotel – thinking the light rail looks interesting? Etc.
The Synod of the South Atlantic’s luncheon is at noon Saturday during the Churchwide Gathering at the Marriot Courtyard (where most of us are staying) and you can reserve your place at the table when you register.
It is time for serious planning so let us know your plans for Churchwide in St. Louis!

A Maundy Thursday or Good Friday Worship Service? Color Easter eggs?
Have friends and family over for Easter dinner or take something for dinner to their house? Meet at a park for a picnic?
A new outfit for church? Are you wearing a hat and gloves?
Supply an Easter Lily for your sanctuary?

In case you missed the March 14 PWP Annual Gathering, the workshop after lunch from Pastor Tamara presented lots of information about Beth-El Farmworkers’ Ministry.
Beth-El Farmworker Ministry, Inc. has a 27 acre site on U.S. Highway 301 about 20 miles south of Tampa. The ministry will celebrate 50 years this October 3 of providing worship and other activities along with feeding the mind, spirit, and body, also education, legal help, and healthcare for the community of farm workers.
Their food pantry serves 600 a week through the FDA. Most of their community works as pickers, etc. in strawberry fields and other farms.
If you subscribe to Horizon magazine, (read it!) you should have the new 2026-2027 Bible Study, United Through Christ, Bound to Each Other. Share it with your women.

Our Presbyterian Women’s program year is coming to an end. Start planning some things to do over the summer. Ask your members for ideas, evaluate them, then decide on a few things to try or if your traditional activities are still good, set some dates and enjoy the time together.
Be intentional about inviting women who have not been coming to your events to join the activity.
Pray – God is listening.
Wait – God is working.
Trust - God has a plan.

Robin’s Egg Salad Sandwich Spread
For each egg, smash it well in a small bowl with a fork. Add a rounded teaspoon (the tableware one) of mayonaise and a third of a teaspoon of mustard. Mix it up and spread it on your favorite sandwich bread. Toasted bread or English muffins are good, too. Enjoy It!
