About Us
As Presbyterians, we are
"connected". This is
also true for us as
Saint Andrews
Presbyterian Women (SAPW).
We are connected to the
larger organization of
Presbyterian Women
(PW) throughout the world.
Below are
statements concerning
the overall PW purpose and
symbol. Click here for
more
information on
Presbyterian Women
on the PC (USA) web
site.
The Presbyterian Women's
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.
To build an inclusive,
caring community of
women that strengthens
the Presbyterian Church
(USA) and
witnesses to the promise
of God's Kingdom.
The Presbyterian Women's
Symbol
The three figures have
no distinctive features,
for they represent all
women - young, old, of
any nationality or
ethnic background. A
community of women...in
Christ. "Forgiven" is
suggested by the figures
rising from the Bible.
One is studying; one is
caring for others; and
the middle figure is in
a position symbolic of
praise. The three
figures suggest the
Trinity. The whole
design suggests a
triangle within a circle
- the Trinity and unity.
