Afternoon Opportunities
at the Gathering
There will be so much to do, but so little time. So,
start planning now for the ways you'll spend your afternoons
at the Gathering.
· Visit the Great Room, where you'll find music,
drama, special presentations and more
· Stop by the Arty Party area and make a keepsake
to take home
· Learn more about a Gathering speaker when you
visit the Let's Talk area
· Find some peace and quiet in the Prayer and Meditation
Room, which includes a full-size labyrinth
· Celebrate PW's past, present and future in the
History Room
Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons offer special choices
for ways to spend your time.
· Take advantage of one of the 80 workshops offered
at the 2003 Gathering. Planned with PW's broad constituency in
mind, there is literally something for everyone-from leadership
development to lighthearted fun. Several workshops will be offered
in Korean and Spanish. Workshops require preregistration; for
more information see the "11 to 7" booklet in your
registration confirmation packet.
· Get away from the convention center and take
a mission tour. Three different tours are planned; each tour
will visit two sites, including the Highland Community Ministry
Center and the American Printing House for the Blind.
· Enjoy the video previews, available each day
from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.
The videos will explore a different topics each day. You'll see
a brief clip and then receive ideas for using the video in a
class, Circle meeting or workshop.
· Take part in a Special Afternoon event. Planned
events include a conversation with the Westfall sisters, writers
of the 2003--2004 Horizons Bible study, The Face Is
Familiar: Remembering Unnamed Women in Scripture.
As always, you'll find exhibits and displays, plus places
to exercise, eat, sit and chat.
Youth
(ages 13 to 18) are invited to spend their afternoon in the youth
program, which includes special outings, time to share with other
youth and a hospitality room. See the "11 to 7" booklet

Make a gift of the Gathering! Consider giving a youth or young
adult a trip to the 2003 Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian
Women as a Christmas, graduation, or "just because"
gift.
Looking for a roommate? You're not the only one. Many Gathering
participants are interested in finding a roommate for their stay
in Louisville, but it's up to each woman to find her own housing
companion. If you need help, contact your Presbytery and/or Synod
PW Moderator. She may know someone in your region who also wants
to share a room.
