Third Sunday, March 19


Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Philippians 4:6-8 NIV


One thing in life, whether we like it or not, is that change will happen. We tend to fear change and become anxious about it because we are not in control of life - God is. Change is real and necessary. Yes, Presbyterian Woman at First Presbyterian Church will no longer be active after May, 2017 - but we must embrace change and believe that out of this transformation, something good and meaningful will be formed . With God in control, we can (should) easily let go of our angsts and have our hearts be open to the amazing opportunities that come along with change.
I am a woman and I am a Presbyterian. I have friends that are women and are Presbyterians. Voila! We are and always will be Presbyterian Women!
To quote John F. Kennedy - "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. "


Dear Heavenly Father, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.
