SISTERS STAND AND WALK TOGETHER

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FROM PWSNE

 

SISTERS STAND AND WALK TOGETHER   SISTERS STAND and WALK TOGETHER (SSWT) is beginning enrollment for its third class.  It is a 3 year program of Presbyterian Women in the Synod of the Northeast, designed to acclimate and motivate new immigrant women from congregations within the Synod to Presbyterian Women. Thus far, participants and organizers have come from four continents and six countries-Brazil, Ghana, Korea, Nigeria, Taiwan and the US. There is no cost to the participant. The purpose of the program is to prepare these women for leadership roles not only within Presbyterian Women but throughout all levels of the Presbyterian Church USA.  SISTERS STAND and WALK TOGETHER seeks to prepare the women through leadership development training including forums and workshops where cultural differences are explored and leadership shared.  The program has also shown the leadership of Presbyterian Women in the Synod of the Northeast, new ways of how to be an ‘inclusive, caring community’ and how to tap into an underdeveloped resource for Presbyterian Women. The group meets at Stony Point Conference Center three times a year.  Participants are encouraged to attend PW events in Albany and Louisville.  The training sessions over the years have included: Exposure to the Presbyterian Women’s manual (purpose, principles, and structure) History of the Racial Ethnic Dialogue in Presbyterian Women in the Synod of the Northeast How to develop and lead a Bible study using the Horizons Bible study as a resource (including how to conduct an ‘ice breaker’) Conversations about cultural barrier issues and women’s role in the church How to plan a worship service Introduction to many resources (Book of Order, Book of Common Worship, Hymnals, periodicals, websites, etc) Creation and participation in worship services for the training sessions Homework was given to participate and/or lead in a worship service, small group session or Sunday School class in our home church The next class begins Sat., Apr. 21, 2012, from 9:30- 3:00 pm.
