Do You Know?

Presbyterian Women do an amazing amount of good with the money they generate. We make donations to: Church Women United, Bell Gardens Human Services, Hunger Fund, Lease Coin, Mary Magdalene, Women's and Children's Crisis Center and Cold Weather Shelter.
Our annual pledge to Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery goes to health missions. We buy personal care items for local homeless, flannel cloth for baby blankets that we send to Africa, we make little dresses for African girls and we pay postage to deliver the blankets and dresses. We coordinate the fall drives for Bell Gardens Seniors, school supplies for the Women's and Children's Crisis Center, baby items for Project Angel and sale of Christmas items for Mary Magdalene Project. In addition to all of this we help church women to attend Presbyterian Leadership Training. When you attend an event we sponsor, you are helping us to do all of these worthwhile efforts. Thank you for supporting the projects of this church's Presbyterian Women.

Newspaper Recycling

We are appreciative to all those members and friends who bring their newspapers to our shed in the parking lot. This is an easy way to earn money for our church.

We do have a few gentle reminders: We recycle newspapers only. Not slick magazines (hard to pulp for recycling) paper towel and toilet paper rolls or cereal boxes and other cardboard items and certainly not used tissues.(Please click here for more information)
The recycling company does accept cardboard but it has to be kept separate from the newspaper. That would require a dedicated, new storage facility. No loose newspapers please. Newspapers need to be bagged or tied for ease of handling. Paper bags are preferred over plastic when bagging. The recycling company does not recycle plastic at all. Thank you for following these guidelines.

EWPC MISSION STATEMENT

Our church exists to participate in and share the Good News of Christ's love and redemption with each other and with the community. Therefore we will: Strengthen programs that attract and retain children, youth and adults. Welcoming all persons, while maintaining the reformed tradition. Empower the leadership and membership, through training, education and support to assertively share the Good News with the community. Offer programs, education and fellowship opportunities to prospective and continuing members to promote understanding of the Bible, prayer, and Presbyterian heritage and beliefs. Join together through proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prayer and inward reflection in the celebration of divine worship.

Little Dresses for Africa

In Africa little girls are not taught that they are worthy. We think that a cute, new dress will make a little girl in Africa feel happy. We'll do some sewing again and see how many of the adorable little dresses we can make. The pattern is available now on the piano in Purdy hall. The dresses are easy to make and fun to decorate with rick rack, ruffles, buttons and anything pretty. We'll have all summer so sew and the round up for the dresses will be in late October. Won't you help us? Presbyterian Women in the Congregation.
