The women at Hopewell Presbyterian Church have a thriving and growing organization! Every woman in the Church has skills and talents that are needed. For the working women, there are many things that can be done at home at your convenience.

“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
• To build and inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.”

The 2022 – 2023 Bible study is Celebrating Sabbath: Accepting God’s Gift of Rest and Delight, by Carol M. Bechtel.
