We are Presbyterian Women in the congregations in the Northeast
New England, New York and New Jersey.
OUR 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.
OUR VISION
To be Springs of Living Water,
Bringing New Life to
Women.
A quote from 1
Peter 5:2 reads “…not greedy for money, but eager to serve…”
sums up how the Presbyterian Women of the Synod of the Northeast
Coordinating Team feel when scholarships are awarded for various
events. We are proud to
have the ability to help our ladies attend worthwhile events through
the Scholarship Program.
We have three
specific categories:
Synod
Events
July Gatherings in Albany/Stony Point;
the Bible Study
Event at Stony Point;
Spiritual Retreat Event in
Syracuse;
and the Healing Retreat.
Leadership
Development – available for those wishing to attend conference and
workshops to enhance their leadership role.
Churchwide Gathering – the international event held every
three years in Louisville
One
scholarship application is available for all three categories –
you need to specify what event you wish to attend. Be sure the application is completely filled out and signed
by the Moderator of your church PW or the Moderator of the
Presbytery PW. Please
ask the Moderator to include a paragraph why you should be
considered for the scholarship.
We do ask you
send a brief report to the Finance Moderator after attending the
event – this will be shared at a PWSNE Meeting.
One word of
caution – please be sure you know the deadline for registration of
the event you wish to attend. The
application must be submitted to the Finance Moderator 45 days prior
to the event.
For further
information, please contact Joanne Schnaudt, Finance Chair of PWSNE at 609-693-7654 or jwschnaudt@comcast.net.
