Presbyterian Women
Presbyterian Women (PW) includes all women who are members of Hudson Memorial Presbyterian Church (HMPC). We join in various ways for fellowship, Bible study, mission projects and service to our church. All women of the church are invited to participate in our Fall, Winter and Spring Gatherings. Presbyterian Women sponsors an annual retreat to share fellowship and further our spiritual journey.

Women's Circles at HMPC
Small group experiences (currently meeting virtually or observing safe distancing) for fellowship and Bible study are available for women at Hudson by participating in one of the Circles of Presbyterian Women. These are small groups that meet once a month from September through May. There are both daytime and evening meeting options. The current Bible Study is Into the Light: Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament.

We invite and encourage you to join the fellowship of a PW circle and share our friendship and fun!
