Mission and Service over the Years

“There are things that we never want to let go of,
people we never want to leave behind.
But keep in mind that letting go
isn’t the end of the world,
it’s the beginning of a new life.”

Mission School

Not until 1922 were women allowed to serve as deacons in the Presbyterian Church, PC(USA), and not until 8years later in  1930 were they allowed into the higher boards of the church.  However, this never determined their influence in years prior.  Their organizations have been very busy in every emergency. Many conveniences of the church have been paid for by the handiwork of the women in various organizations. They have contributed generously to missions, and at a time when women's work was most often unpaid, they contributed their time and efforts. An undertaking of which they were most proud was a mission school operated by many women of the church. It was begun in 1890 and was in existence for thirty years.
