You are invited to The Table: A Presbyterian Women Bible Study, a new monthly gathering centered on Scripture, conversation, and community. Mary Hall will lead the group using the Presbyterian Women curriculum, with each meeting designed to feel relaxed and welcoming—more like gathering in a café with friends than attending a formal class.

​

The group will meet on the first Thursday of each month from 10:30–11:30 a.m. in the Fireplace Room, beginning October 1. We will be starting with the Bible Study,  United Through Christ, Bound to Each Other Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians by Rhonda Mawhood Lee.

Whether you are already connected with Presbyterian Women or simply looking for a meaningful place to grow in faith and build relationships, there is a place for you at The Table.

Please bring your animal friends and join us for a Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 3rd at 10 a.m. in the church parking lot as we ask for God's blessings on the animals who enrich our lives. Please make sure your pet is leashed or in a crate so that all of our furry friends stay safe! If your pet does not travel well or is recently deceased, you are welcome to bring a photo. We will offer a short service and then pastors will offer individual blessings for pets.

This fall, First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood will welcome Dr. Gregory Cuellar of Austin Seminary as he presents Arte de Lágrimas, a powerful art exhibit that tells the stories of refugee and asylum-seeking Central American children and youth crossing the Texas–Mexico border. 

​

Timed alongside All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos, this multi-day sacred art experience will invite us into reflection, remembrance, and conversation about migration, human dignity, and how we are called to respond. Through art, guided conversation, and theological reflection, we will consider what this exhibit is asking of us—as individuals, as a congregation, and as a broader community. 

​

Mark your calendar for a full weekend of opportunities to engage with the exhibit: 

• Friday, October 30: Opening Reception 

• Saturday, October 31: Exhibit Viewing Hours 

• Sunday, November 1 at 10:00 a.m.: Class exploring the exhibit through the themes of All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos 

• Sunday, November 1 at 3:00 p.m.: Public Lecture with Dr. Gregory Cuellar

The exhibit will also be open before and after worship on Sunday.
