Coordinating Team
Bargain Box
In 1968, First Presbyterian Women began the Bargain Box thrift Shop. It was originally envisioned to support nursing scholarships at St. Joseph's Hospital, located across the street from the church at that time. Over the years, the mission of the Bargain Box grew to include dozens of agencies and families in need across Garland County, Arkansas.
Every Monday morning, volunteers clean, check, price, and display items which have been donated.
On Wednesday afternoons, Bargain Box volunteers sell these items to the public.
wednesday women's Bible Study
A self-led study, women of First Presbyterian read books which often take a new look at old, familiar scriptures. Join us every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m.
CIRCLE Bible Study
Led by Sandy Matheney, the Circle Bible Study meets on the third Tuesday of each month. This year's study is "Celebrating Sabbath". Accepting God's gift of rest and delight.
In the nine lessons of this Bible study—with passages from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, and Acts—we’ll consider Sabbath
- as a celebration, not a day of dreary formality
- as God’s intent for all of creation that includes busy women too
- as one day of the week, perhaps a Sunday
- as a time to surrender unhealthy striving and frantic busyness, and instead trust that God will provide
- as a reminder that life is precious and working too much is against God’s plans for our precious lives
- as a day devoted to community and justice and not exclusively to self-care.
Ultimately, Sabbath reminds us to honor God who honors us by giving us a day each week to reset our pace, our priorities, and our lives.
