Presbyterian women love the Bible. The stories in the Bible, hundreds or thousands of years old, constantly beckon, inviting new reflection, conversation and study. Even if your Bible is well-worn—pages dog-eared and margins filled with your musings on the text—there is always something new to find and take to heart. We hope this issue of Horizons gives you new ways, from reading to eating, to understand God’s sacred word.
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
