PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

The Board of Presbyterian Women of Hitchcock is looking forward to another successful year of Mission, Outreach and Fellowship! We were fighting strong this year and I’m proud to say we were able to give away $49,000.00 to organizations that support women, children and families both here and abroad. The Thrift Shop has been reinventing itself and gradually becoming a source of sustainable shopping and community outreach as well as reducing our carbon footprint by reducing waste. It is all about People, Planet and Profits. Our wonderful staff of volunteers has grown to include special needs students enrolled in Pleasantville School District’s F.A.S.T. program and SUNY WCC Fashion Department student interns! These remarkable young people are learning skills that will last them a lifetime as they move forward. All of this hard work creates the profits we need to pursue our Mission.

This year we began a new PW tradition at Hitchcock! We are enormously proud of our young people and wanted to recognize them for their faith and hard work and to let them know that they re always in our prayers. We gifted book marks to the Fifth Grade Bible recipients, wooden hand crosses to the Confirmands and stadium blankets to the High School Grads. We wish them all safe travels as they move on.

On October 20th we are hosting a lunch event and inviting three of our grant recipients to come and speak to the congregation about their work. Please join us and learn more about the work that they do and why we support them. Watch the Happenings for more details.

The Book Group continues to meet via Zoom.  Contact Lee Maiden (LeeWheelermaiden@gmail.com) if you would like to be a part of that very lively and interesting conversation. We are working on creating more opportunities for the women of Hitchcock and their friends to learn and grow and, most importantly, to know one another better. As we learn together we become a united entity that becomes a force for great things in our community and beyond. This is why we are here!

All the women members of Hitchcock are automatically members of Presbyterian Women of Hitchcock Church. The PW Board welcomes you invites you to suggest activities or events that are of interest to you. This is your organization. Let any of us on the Board know how you would like to be involved. We look forward to hearing from you!
