PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
In 1999 Presbyterian Women introduced a new logo (seen here). It looks much like the old one but with some differences. In the new logo, the circle represents the church worldwide where women offer their gifts and talents in the midst of the global community. The shapes forming the circle show energy, strength, and openness.
- The three women have no distinct features and represent all women.
- The central figure stands in praise, forming a cross as she reaches to embrace a just peace for the world.
- The right figure holds a book to guide her reading, studying, praying or meditating.
- The left figure reaches out to care for others as she shares, nurtures and heals.
- The words, "Presbyterian Women" and the Bible, which resembles the one in the PC(USA) Seal, tie us to the denomination.
PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN IN DONEGAL is an organization of women within the congregations of the Presbytery who subscribe to the Purpose:
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit we commit ourselves:
- To nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
- to support the mission of the Church worldwide,
- to work for justice and peace, and
- to build an inclusive, caring community of women
- that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA)
- and witnesses to the promise of God's Kingdom.
All women are welcome and it is not necessary that your congregation has an organized group. If you or the women of your church are interested or desire more information, contact Moderator of PW - Melissa Matheson, (610) 363-1898, melissa.matheson@verizon.net
