Women's Inc
Mission Statement:
The women’s ministry of St. Paul’s is designed for women of all ages to know that they are uniquely gifted by God, called to fellowship, empowered by the Holy Spirit and essential to the body of Christ. It is our desire for Women to find a place to belong where they can be Inspired, Nurtured and Connected with God and one another through Bible study, fellowship, service and don’t forget fun!

The Women’s group started in fall of 2015 with the purpose stated above in our Mission Statement. We set up activities and events several times throughout the year.
In the past we have held a Spring/Summer Tea, a Comedy brunch/fashion show, gone to Painting with a Twist to feed our artistic sides, made Halloween ghosts and snacks, held annual cookie exchanges (very popular) in December, held a swing dance night with demonstrations and teachers, and sponsored game nights for the church. Additionally we’ve gone to the Uwchlan History lectures held over summer, followed by making our own sundaes; held a Bible Jeopardy tournament; brought in a storm chasing lecturer, and held an International Dinner for the church with 15-20 various dishes from different countries. (Delicious!)
From a service project perspective, we re-did the church bathrooms with new paint, ceiling tiles, art work, etc.; we are in the process of renovating the Parsonage; we served at the Reformation 500 luncheon; cleaned the parsonage and upstairs kitchens; and helped collect VBS supplies. We hope to have spiritual retreats in the future.
We’re always looking for new service project ideas as well as fun events. Come try us out! Questions: contact Karen Slyman (churchoffice@verizon.net) or Cherie Baker cherylbaker1@verizon.net). Our current board consists of Karen and Cherie, as well as Diane Baker, Fran Kane, Joan Strawbridge, and Linda Sinclair.
