Presbyterian Women
Presbyterian Women (PW) is a church-wide organization that is open to all women who choose to participate or be supportive of PW in any way. PW exists to build fellowship, study, raise issues and concerns to and from PW in the Mid-Kentucky Presbytery.
Congratulations to Beulah's Mary Hockenberry (right) who was recognized as the recipient of the 2019 Honorary Life Membership Award at the Mid-Kentucky PW Spring Gathering on March 23, 2019 at Harvey Browne Presbyterian Church.
Circles
PW circles are small groups of women who gather regularly to provide an inclusive, caring community who participate in Bible study and prayer. Beulah has two circles that meet monthly from September through May.
2019-2020 PW Horizons Bible Study
This year's Horizons Bible Study is "Love Carved in Stone: A Fresh Look at the Ten Commandments". The author is Eugenia Anne Gamble. The circles will begin the Bible Study in September.
What would it mean to consider the Ten Commandments not as a harsh list of what not to do but, instead, as a “love letter” from a loving God? A fresh embrace of the Ten Commandments (or Words), author Eugenia Gamble suggests, may ultimately contribute to the restoration of ourselves and our communities and the furthering of the gospel in the world. “Moral behavior matters, not simply because immoral actions can anger or disappoint God, but because principled behavior is how love becomes real, both toward God and in community.” Love Carved in Stone is a Bible study that helps us reframe the way we look at and live in the world.
Why the Ten Words? The author notes that nowhere in the Hebrew text does the word for “commandment” appear. She says, “In the Bible, these utterances are called just what they are: ‘words.’ I’ve chosen to use the term ‘Ten Words’ because it is the biblical form and opens us up to looking at the Ten Commandments in fresh ways.”
Each lesson begins with an exploration of one of the Ten Words in its biblical context. From there we consider a moment from Jesus’ life that shows us how he lived out that Word. We then consider the Word for our own lives and contexts. We conclude with an invitation to pray with the Word in our circles or study groups and in our personal devotions.
All women at Beulah and friends of the church are invited and encouraged to become a circle member.
