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!

August 5-8, 2027 Churchwide Gathering Galt House, Louisville, KY. tart planning and saving now.
Take a deep breath. A new program year brings expectations and challenges, but also new opportunities.
Before you start thinking about everything you have to do, remember that God is with you. Let God’s presence calm your worries and open your heart to hear God’s voice.
Please send me your ideas so I can share them!
School has started and your PW is hopefully planning for the next 9 months. Did you do an over view for the Bible Study, United Through Christ, Bound to Each Other, yet?
You might send out the dates for Circle Meetings and post them on your bulletin board so personal calendars can be marked and conflicting appointments avoided.
How about a serious evaluation of what your group does, how it does things, and do you need to make any improvements or changes?
Are your members intentionally inviting women who are currently not active?
Have you asked those women why they do not participate? This may be a great time to do some things a bit differently.
Think, pray, plan, evaluate and have some good times.
Less than a year until the 2027 Churchwide Gathering! Think about going, who might go with you, and start saving $$$ to go. I have been forwarding information from Churchwide as I receive it. I thought it might be easier to read one document at time instead of a whole batch at once. What do you think?

One of our churches has virtual circle meetings on Tuesday mornings and once a month circle meetings in person. They seem to involve more women, and you can connect from home or from work to adapt to a variety of different schedules and situations.
They also meet once a month for a ladies luncheon and reserve a table for the men to meet so that the men can have a social gathering, too!
Apple Salad
4 apples, skin on, cored and chopped

September can bring its own set of challenges, testing our resilience and faith. This prayer is for those enduring difficult times, needing God’s unwavering strength to persevere, His peace to calm their hearts, and His hope to sustain them through every storm.
