All women members of Santa Fe are members of Presbyterian Women (PW), whose purpose is:
“Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves -
- to nuture our faith through prayer and Bible Study
-
to support the mission of the church worldwide,
-
to work for the justice and peace, and
-
to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom"
Santa Fe is proud to host three women’s circles, in which Santa Fe women study the Bible and enjoy fellowship together. In 2009-2010, all three circles chose to study the Horizons’ magazines Bible study “Joshua, A Journey of Faith”. In the nine lessons of Joshua: A Journey of Faith, Mary Mikhael invites us to explore the challenging, sometimes heartrending, book of Joshua. Pursuing such themes as leadership, the promise of land, the concept of “holy war,” and outsiders becoming insiders, we learn ultimately to find rest in the justice and mercy of God.
The Santa Fe Women's Circles are:
Additional PW activities include Recognition of Women Sunday in which Sunday morning worship service is conducted by the women of Santa Fe, Women’s Retreat in April, Spring Luncheon in June, Salad Supper in August, and Harvest Brunch in November.
