Presbyterian Women
Synod of Living Waters
CHALLENGE TO THE PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
JULY
Keep Smiling!
AND
I CHALLENGE every Presbytery in the Synod of Living Waters to add ‘at least one
more’ Presbyterian Women’s Group between July 2010 and June 2011.
I challenge every new group to “be just a little different” from our present groups.
Our purpose is “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.”
We need to gather women and see how they would like to structure their meetings
and open ourselves to new ideas. There is not only one way to do things – let’s all
think outside the box.
Blessings, Wisdom and Strength to you all,
Jackie

I know that I need to send a challenge to the PW, but “what, I asked the Lord?”
This is what came into my mind:
My women are full of joy, hope and thanksgiving. Too often it isn’t shared and you
can’t tell it by looking at their faces. They get so involved in their daily duties that
they just forget to smile. They work hard at doing and giving, but do not pass on
the joy.
I feel the Lord is telling me that I need to notify my face that my heart is full of
joy. What about you?
There are many people today that do not know the Lord and we could possibly
introduce them by giving them a smile. If we show our happy face, they might just
want what we have and give us a chance to witness to them.
Until the Lord gives me another challenge, let’s try this one and just see how many
souls we can produce for the Lord.
Keep smiling --- God is watching.
Blessings to you all,
Jackie
