Mahoning Presbyterian Church
Danville, Pennsylvania
| The Women’s Association |
| The Women’s Association of Mahoning Presbyterian Church meets monthly, September through June at the Muffin Man in Riverside, PA at 10:30 AM on the 2nd or 3rd Monday of each month. Our purpose as women sharing a common faith in our Lord and Savior is to unite through the church to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to demonstrate His love in all areas of life, to declare our oneness with fellow Christians everywhere and to grow in Christian faith and responsibility. We shall seek to implement this purpose by study, prayer, and service, supporting with our giving the work of the Board of National Missions, the Board of Christian Education and, and the Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relation. Our officers are as follows: President - Nancy Styer, Vice-President - Linda Pritchard, Secretary - Maxine Rodenhaver, General Treasurer - Betty Irving, Mission Treasurer - Julia Warner. Julia Warner is responsible for the Mission CD. Our meetings open with devotions followed by a Bible study. We use the Horizon Bible study that is published by Presbyterian Women of the Presbyterian Church, USA. We have had some interesting discussions over the years as we have studied Esther, Ruth and Naomi, Jonah, Luke’s Gospel for the poor and many women in the Bible for things they said and for things they did not say but did. A short business meeting is held followed by lunch. We have two major fund-raisers each year; a Fall bazaar and a Spring rummage sale. Both activities bring us closer together as sisters in Christian love and allow us to assist financially in renovations needed for our church. There is lots of food, crafts, baked goods, plants, jewelry, a Chinese auction and rummage items in the former gathering and soup, baked goods and rummage items in the latter. Our Mission giving locally includes Jubilee Kitchen, Community Christmas Tree, Danville State Hospital, the Montour County Food Bank and the Gate House. We have supported mission work in Nepal through a friend of the church. We participated in the Presbyterian Women Palm Project for the establishment of palm plantations in the Congo, the Warren Wilson College, Hurricane Mitch Disaster Relief in Central America, SHACK in 1995 and Earth Day Offering. If you are interested in renewing your faith and making new friends, please call Nancy Styer @275-0209, Linda Pritchard @ 271-1260 or Maxine Rodenhaver @ 275-1322. |
