PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN PURPOSE
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ,
Empowered by the Holy Spirit,
We commit ourselves:
To nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,

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.

Bargain BoxList Item 3
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.
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.
Let Justice Roll Down
Led by Sandy Matheney, the Circle Bible Study meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. This year's study is "Let Justice Roll Down: God's Call to Care for Neighbors and All Creation".
According to Scripture, the earth and its members belong to God. We are called to care for creation not only because God loves it, but also because a healthy creation supports human well-being. We are called to care for neighbors and creation with all our hearts, with particular care for society’s least powerful members who are disproportionately impacted by unjust systems. This PW/Horizons Bible study is an invitation to explore and to act, with all our hearts, in responding to an issue that impacts all life on God’s earth. Readers will learn about ecological systems, the challenges we face in this time of accelerated climate change, and the possibilities available to address or counter the impact of human-made stress on our environment. Further, readers will explore theological questions that point us to act and engage, in large and small ways.
