 About This Issue
Fiscal Fitness
It’s been said that working on physical fitness is a gift you give yourself, ensuring
a better quality of life, if not a longer life.
This issue of Horizons focuses on fiscal fitness as a gift you give yourself as well as others. Sound personal finances and solid financial planning allow individuals at all income levels to look beyond their own budgets and respond to the needs of those around them. From the kinds of giving many of us have practiced for as long as we can remember (“Celebrating Faith Through Celebration Giving,” p. 21) to some of the newer challenges facing this generation and beyond (“Make Poverty History,” p. 12), we can never be too generous!
How to Use This Magazine
Horizons is the magazine of Presbyterian Women. It is planned
and designed for individuals and PW circles, newcomers and longtime
participants in the organization. You'll notice resources are
scattered throughout the magazine—in sidebars, boxes and sometimes
entire articles—because Presbyterian Women is made up of leaders,
both current leaders and women with leadership potential. Participants
in Presbyterian Women are also active—in their congregation,
community and world-so we work to include ways you can respond
to what you read in Horizons.
The purpose of Horizons magazine is the same as the purpose
of our publisher, Presbyterian Women:
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
- 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
