Around 1,600 women from across Ireland gathered in PCI’s Assembly Buildings in Belfast on Thursday 10 May 2018 for the Annual Meeting and Evening Celebration of Presbyterian Women, a part of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland’s women’s ministry. At the meetings, guest speaker Kate Patterson spoke on the newly launched PW theme for 2018/2019, Beautiful.

Outlining the content of her talks, Kate said, “The theme of both sessions is ‘Beautiful’. In a world where beauty is an industry and an obsession, we are called to gaze on the beauty of the Lord. In Psalm 27, David said that it was top of his prayer list. Why is it so important? Because when we gaze on the Lord, we find that His face is shining on us. He wants us near. We were made to know Him. What could matter more? “
