Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry – Prayers & Squares is an interfaith outreach ministry that combines the gift of prayer with the gift of a hand-tied quilt.  Unlike many other organizations that make quilts for charitable causes, the purpose of Prayers & Squares is not to make and distribute quilts, but to promote prayer through the use of quilts.  Our motto is: "It's not about the quilt; it's all about the prayers."

Each Knot Represents a Prayer - The idea behind these prayer quilts is simple.  A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with square knot.  As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is said for someone in special need, who then receives the finished quilt.

The ministry now consists of over 300 chapters around the world.  Faith Presbyterian Church is Chapter 52.  If you would like to join or like more information, please contact Joan Madler at 619.582.0258.

Women’s Association – This group is a study and mission focus group that gathers once a month with other church groups; once a month as a large group for a program and once a month for small group Bible Study. This group supports many missions and they work at special projects to help children and local shelters. 

Attending a Circle can enrich your life as we join together for prayer, study and loving fellowship!  We look forward to having you there!

Circle meetings are second Thursday of the month at 11:00am in room 3.

Men’s Group – Meets every Monday morning at IHOP on University, 7:30 am for study, discussion and prayer. Topics range from Biblical subjects, to men’s issues to current ethical issues. Coffee and snacks are provided and this group plans the annual Men’s retreat.  We do not meet on Mondays that fall on a national holiday.

Home Groups – Several small groups meet in homes on a weekly, bi-weekly and monthly basis. These are groups based on special needs or interests. There are  “Mom’s Group", “Women's Book Club" and others are in the beginning stages of planning. These groups meeting on their own with support from church staff. This is a “form your own group” type of ministry that studies, discusses, eats, laughs and cries together, based on people's needs.

     Mom's Group -  A small group consisting of mothers of young children was formed at the church.  We currently meet at 7:00 p.m. on the 4th  Wednesday of every month, a different mom hosting the group each month.  We meet to discuss the challenges of our individual spirituality at a time in our lives when so much of our energy is focused on the well being of our children.  We use the Bible, other spiritual texts and fiction, guest speakers, as well as our personal experiences to initiate discussion.  And believe me, it doesn't take much to get this group engaged!  Please contact Brenda Wilborn if you are interested in learning more about the Mom's group.

     Book Club -  This group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, at 7:00pm, to discuss books from a variety of genres.  We generally meet for about an hour and the discussion is informal.  This group is open to men and women.  Newcomers and one-time drop-ins are always welcome!  For September, we will discuss the book THE SEVILLE COMMUNION by Arturo Perez-Reverte.

    Missions supported by groups – most large and small groups take on a special mission project for the year, whether it be sponsoring a family at Christmas, hosting a military family for dinner or providing company for an elderly person during a special holiday. All groups are involved in some form of mission work.
