Cook's Presbyterian Women
Contact: Pede Self
Cook’s Presbyterian Women (CPW) are involved in many activities in the life of the church. We have two Circles: Circles meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 am and 7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Women’s Circle meetings are held from September until May each year to enrich faith, study and fellowship with God and each other.
We begin our year with a ‘fellowship’ meeting to plan a full schedule for the year ahead including partnering with the Men of the Church (MOC) to support their fundraising dinners and Antique Car Show with delicious deserts. We also provide support at the annual Fall Festival and assist the MOC and Scout troop by manning stations for the families in our community attending this free event. We support local non-profit organizations, provide gifts for our college students and home bound members, and plan several fun fellowship activities for our church family.
Check our church calendar and upcoming events schedule often, and become an active participant in our community of faith.

Cook’s Church has been involved with Kajiado Children’s Home, an orphanage in Kenya, East Africa since 2008. Each year, we lead a mission trip to Kenya to visit with the children and staff. Today, many members of Cook’s Church and members of our community hold these children close to their hearts through prayer and support. Hope For Kajiado is a 501(c)3 organization providing life-changing support to these orphans who might not otherwise survive. Please contact us for more information about the upcoming mission trip, or visit our website at www.hope4kajiado.org to learn more.
