WOW - Presbyterian Church of Los Gatos

WOW is one of three “circles” or small groups of Presbyterian Women, which is the national women’s organization within the PC(USA). Like PW, WOW offers a variety of ways for women to live out their faith in an inclusive, caring community. We enjoy getting to know one another while getting to know God.

Our Mission:

WOW fosters spiritual growth and Christian fellowship among our church members, in our families, and in our community.

Meetings:

10:00-11:30 AM each Thursday

WOW meets in the Creekside Lounge (in the Youth Center). See calendar below.

All women are welcome!

What We Do:

Bible Studies:

Studies have included the books of John, Jonah, Ruth, Psalms, Revelation and more.

Christian Book Studies:

We have read Seeds by Thomas Merton, and The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, and The Muslim Next Door by Sumbul Ali-Karamalia among others.

DVD Lessons: Recent videos such as Never Put a Period Where God Puts a Comma by Nell Mohney, and Making the Most of Your Marriage by Kevin Leman, have led to interesting, supportive discussion.

Social Activities:

We enjoy getting together socially from time to time for activities like hiking, yoga, coffee and dinner parties.

Mission Projects:

We have made meals for homeless shelters, assembled layettes for needy mothers and participated in clothing and blanket drives. We support our WOW members in times of need (e.g. when there is a new baby in the family or an ill family member, etc.) through phone calls, prayers, providing meals and/or help with childcare.
