Special note: “Standing on the Shoulders of
Empowered Women” was the theme of the 2019
USAME to the Finger Lakes Region of New York.
This region with its unique geography and
unique peoples was the birthplace of seismic
social reform (including women’s sufrage
and abolition) and new religious movements
and inspired fiery religious fervor. In the
November/December 2019 Horizons (focused on
the 2019 USAME) Lois Carter writes, “The Finger Lakes area has
been and continues to be a meeting point and turning point for
many people.” Covid-19 put a stop to many plans, including some
plans to invite a PW participant from this Experience to share
about what she learned. If you would like to learn more about the
2019 USAME (or extend an invitation to a participant), save 50%
on the November/December 2019 Horizons (item HZN19250) with

groups, PW’s Annual Mission Fund is also built through individ-

increasingly has become a strong source of support.

out (think: map) that is compact and impactful! Available to

Patricia K. Tull, autora del estudio bíblico de PW/Horizons 2024–2025 Que uya como agua la justicia:
La llamada de Dios a cuidar del prójimo y de toda la creación, describe su llamada a la justicia de la
creación: “Cuando supe por primera vez de la crisis climática, me pregunté cómo una erudita bíblica
podría ayudar con pocas habilidades prácticas y encontré mi propósito en aprender sobre ecología y
enseñar lo que pudiera a la gente de fe. Eso no es una habilidad o el deseo de todas las personas, pero
cada una tiene algo que ver con todos nuestros corazones”.
Le invitamos a unirse a las Mujeres Presbiterianas mientras exploramos, con todo nuestro corazón, la
llamada de Dios a cuidar de nuestro prójimo y de la creación. Los lectores aprenderán sobre los sistemas
ecológicos, los retos a los que nos enfrentamos en esta época de cambio climático acelerado y las
posibilidades disponibles para abordar o contrarrestar el impacto del estrés provocado por el ser humano
en nuestro medio ambiente. Además, los lectores explorarán cuestiones teológicas que nos indican que
actuemos y participemos, en pequeñas y grandes formas.

Special issue, special savings!
Presbyterian Women’s 2023 United States Mission Experience (USAME) to the Border
Presbyterian Women’s 2023 USA Mission Experience brought together 18 Presbyterian women, representing multiple
synods, who traveled to Arizona and Mexico to learn about the lives of those who live in the borderlands, and to encounter and
respond faithfully to the human experience of migration, border enforcement, and detention. The November/December 2023
Horizons magazine is dedicated to the USAME. Within the pages of this issue, readers will find:
• Definitions and reflections pertaining to immigration and the migration experience.
• Insights on shifting borders and the patchwork of legislation and practices that govern how, where and when people can
enter the U.S., written by Mark Adams, PCUSA mission co-worker.
• An article about Tucson’s Southside Presbyterian Church mission of sanctuary and support for migrants and asylum seekers.
• Action ideas (personal as well as local) and links for further exploration.
• Participant reflections.
Save a little, share a lot!

The Churchwide Gathering program book is more than a road map (or GPS!) of
Gathering events and their corresponding times. The program book finds new
life in synod and presbytery gatherings across the country, providing worship
and workshop ideas, and more. What Gathering attendee doesn’t have her program
book stashed as a reminder of good days spent in fellowship with good friends in the
faith? In other words, the program book becomes a highly regarded and appreciated
resource for years to come!
With that in mind, the pages of the 2024 Churchwide Gathering program book
will expand to provide Presbyterian women with the opportunity to express
thanks, admiration, good humor and invitation to one another with PW personal
space ads!
Ideas? Honor your PW sisters! Send a prayer for your voting reps! Bring greetings
from afar! Pay homage to those members of the Great Cloud of Witnesses who
continue to inspire your faith journey! Share information about your presbytery’s
upcoming plans! The 2024 Churchwide Gathering program book is your
opportunity to express what is in your heart.
