(Women) Enjoy reading and discussing the Bible?

Try Koinonia
Koinonia is the name of Bower Hill’s Women’s Bible Study group. If you ask current members of the group, many will tell you that Koinonia is one of the best things going on at our church! The group meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 am until 10:30 am in the Lounge from September through May. Koinonia is a Greek word meaning “fellowship”. While we come together to learn and to deepen our faith, equally important is the fellowship we share with one another. A strong Biblical background is not required to be a member…all you need is a desire to grow.

(Men) Enjoy reading contemporary books?

Hunger Projects
We have made alleviating hunger a priority. The church has been collecting food for the Wallace Presbyterian Church food pantry for many years. In May, 2006, with the help of the community, we collected 14,000 lbs of food for the Hurricane Katrina victims. On October 14, 2006, we a planning a day long event to raise awareness and raise money. Join us in planning this and other events.

Mt. Washington Tutoring
Each Tuesday afternoon throughout the school year, several members from Bower Hill travel to the Presbyterian Church of Mt. Washington to tutor second grade students. All lessons are supplied by the coordinator. The program is designed so no teaching experience is necessary. Help us teach the children.

SHIM Back to School Event
This event in August supplies students with backpacks and supplies for the coming school year. The backpacks and supplies are distributed during a party held for the students. Financial and hands on help at the event are needed.
