Presbyterian       Kirk of the Hills

Presbyterian Women (PW) is a loving community that can challenge and nurture you, and be a vehicle for making the world a better place for all of God’s children. 

Bible Study is the second Tuesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall.  All women in the community are invited to join the women of the Kirk as they gather each month for Bible Study and fellowship. The 2022 PW Bible Study diverts from the normal Horizon Bible studies to delve into one of Max Lucado’s books, ‘Anxious for Nothing’’.  In his very down to earth manner with words, Rev. Lucado offers comfort and encouragement that God loves you and He is always near in EVERY situation. This is a 11-month action plan intended to help you invite God to reframe the way you face your fears, discover calm amidst a storm, stop spending time on the “what ifs”, and experience the “peace of God, which surpasses all understanding”.

Presbyterian Women regular monthly meetings are in the fellowship hall at 2:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month.  This is a meeting of the PW Coordinating Team will all women of the church who wish to participate in the ongoing life of the church.  

The women of the Kirk have always been very giving! They help fund national mission projects through Presbytery and many local and state ones as well, such as the DAR Patriot Project, Shirley School Backpack program, Vera Lloyd Children's Home, Alzheimer's Arkansas, Fairfield Bay Animal League, and Ozark Mountain Young Mons & Healthy Families.  

During the holidays, the season is celebrated with Holiday Food Baskets and the Christmas Cookie project that go to support both the local community and many of the Kirk's shut-in members to make their season bright! 

Presbyterian Women serve the congregation with reception teams providing fellowship opportunities and receptions for birthdays, memorial services, and anniversary celebrations.  They continue to make and give Prayer Quilts to those that are ill or facing difficult situations. They serve as captains of volunteers that prepare communion, usher, and serve as liturgist.  They sing in the choir, and serve as elders on Session.

Presbyterian Women serve the community by volunteering talents and time to help get America vaccinated against COVID, working at Wear & Share, spending days donating their efforts at the library and recycle center, and serve on resort and city committees that are dedicated to making our community a wonderful place to live.

Presbyterian Women remember each other in prayer and reach out to each other in the good times and the bad. 

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, 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.
