Bible Study & Fellowship Groups
Feeding on the Word of God in the Fellowship of our Christian Family
Presbyterian Women
Third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at the Church (Updated 2009)
"She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple." (Proverbs
30:22)
Presbyterian Women sponsor many programs and contribute to a variety of groups.
We support many missions, hold an annual yard sale and annual noodle making events.
Please feel free to join us for wonderful friendship, fellowship, and bible study!
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 (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

Happy happy spring to everyone! I just love this time of year but then most of us
do! Our last PW meeting was chock-full of “spring” from the cheerful daffodils on
the tables to the yummy and clever brunch of chicken salad served in fresh melon
rings with homemade fruit tarts. Many thanks to Naomia and Marjorie for hostessing
this month.
This was our birthday offering meeting which was collected and dedicated, followed
by our business meeting and then we adjourned. Plans were made for the Spring Gathering
for Saturday, May 7th with ladies from all over the Kendall PW attending.
Noodle machines were discussed, padded chairs were discussed and subsequently purchased,
and the Honorary Life Membership recipient was selected.
We asked Cynthia to be a guest speaker at our meeting hoping she would show us some
of her quilts. All I can say is...WOW! Cynthia brought 20 quilts and mentioned that
she had several more at a shop in Arizona. Cynthia’s degree is in clothing and textiles
and art is very obvious in her work. Each quilt holds not only a story, but is a
beautiful treasure for the eyes to behold. She touched on several points of each
quilt from goofs she re-vamped to come up with a new design; to her very first quilt;
to one her daughter created.
In closing, my wish for everyone today would be to stop, take a very deep breath,
put on a smile, look upward, and boldly thank God for today, for the ability to
take that breath, to smile, and that you have another day to enjoy the endless gifts
God has given you. Please do you, your family and God a big favor, praise Him! Praise
Him today, He yearns to have you turn to Him in all times, not just times of need.
Or as the old cliche’ goes, Stop and smell the roses.
In His Service, Teri

Bible Study & Fellowship Groups
Thursday Small Group Bible Study
Every Thursday 1:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall (Updated October 4, 2011)
It’s not too late to join in on the new by Max Lucado, "Fearless; Imagine Your Life
without Fear". The Bible studies spin off of our Lord's peaceful presence with his
disciples who feared the great storm heaving their boat on the waves of the Galilean
Sea. Our Lord Jesus Christ calmed the storm (and them!) with the command, "Peace,
be still!" There's a book & study guide for each member.
Men's Bible Study
Every Tuesday morning at 7:30 am at Conner's Café (Updated January 25, 2011)
Start your day off the God Way! All ages of men welcome! We will soon start an in-depth
study of The Sermon on the Mount. Come and be blessed with joyful fellowship and
the blessing of an extended look at that great sermon in our reading and discussion
of God's Word.
Youth Group (Middle & High School Ages)
Every 2nd & 4th Sunday of the Month at 6:00 P.M. (Updated January 26, 2011)
There were 10 of us present on January 23. Come and join in the excitement! We share
in snacks, a game, a video-based lesson, and music. We're hoping to start a Youth
Praise band. We already have a couple of guitar pickers! We're planning a fun bowling
outing for Sunday, February 6th. Our goal is to start weekly meetings later winter/early spring.
