bullet75th anniversary of women as ruling elders
In 1930 in the PCUSA women were admitted to ordination as ruling elders. A 75th anniversary is celebrated in 2005.
bullet50th anniversary of women as ministers of Word and Sacrament
In 1955 the General Assembly of the PCUSA voted to approve the ordination of women to the office of Word and Sacrament. It was approved by the presbyteries and in 1956 the first woman was ordained in the tradition that is now the PC(USA). Thus we celebrate in 2006 the 50th anniversary of women ordained as ministers of Word and Sacrament.

  Text: 2 Timothy 1:3-7 I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
