The women of New Concord Presbyterian Church have their Presbyterian Women meeting in the Fellowship Hall at 7:30 on the third Wednesday of each month. We participate in Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and a business meeting. Each meeting is opened with prayer, the lighting of the Christ Candle, and the reciting of our purpose. 

As New Concord Presbyterian Women our Purpose is to:
    Nurture our faith through prayer, Bible study and fellowship;
    Show love and concern for all;
    Practice hospitality;
    Dissolve all barriers among us;
    Create a comfortable and caring atmosphere for all;
    Utilize and respect  each other’s gifts and talents;
    Encourage participation by all women;
    Enjoy our ministry in the church and community as we care for each other.


We close our meetings with prayer, extinguishing the Christ Candle, and reciting the Presbyterian Women (PCUSA) Purpose:

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.

The Bible Study for 2010-2011 is Straight to the Point: Do You See Him Now? A Study of the Gospel of Mark.

The women of New Concord reach out to our church, community, and world through our mission and outreach projects.

As New Concord Presbyterian Women we are a diverse people with unique insights and distinctive gifts; yet we are unified in our mission and our love of God.  We are challenged by these words from Luke 4: 18 – 19,

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
 He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

To God Be the Glory!
