Presbyterian Women Purpose

The Deborah Circle supports The Presbyterian Women of our denomination. We include in our meeting a Bible Study. We have a time of prayers for members and church concerns and give thanks for the good things that have happened in our lives. We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 2:00 p.m.
We support our projects with personal donations of our members and fundraisers. We keep a blessing box which we use for bestowing blessings on those that have need of a little sunshine. One of our charitable activities this last year included a Micro Loan program to the women in Guatemala in partnership with Presbyterian Women. The Micro Loan project helps women in Guatemala to start a variety of different types of small businesses. These women are given a mentor and must network with a small group of micro loan recipients. They receive business education in their businesses of choice along with basic best practice, nutrition education. Each woman is given a prayer partner. Other activities include:
