This grant money will allow the Center to take their services to clients who are unable to come to the Center in Bryan.

 *The Purpose of Presbyterian Women

Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ,
we commit ourselves to:
nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
support the mission of the church world wide,
work for justice and peace, build an inclusive,
caring community of women that strengthens
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and
witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom.

 **What is a Circle?

Where faith is nurtured and growth
takes place through worship,
study, friendship, and outreach

Where women are challenged
to stretch beyond their limits

Where women move beyond the safe
places of life and reach out to others

Where Christian leadership is born,
nurtured, and sent forth into ministry.
