The Mission Yearbook for Prayer & Study is a daily devotional with 365 inspiring mission stories that come from next door and all across the globe. It inspires thousands of Presbyterians daily as they uphold the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in intercessory prayer. The stories for the 2011 Mission Yearbook were collected around General Assembly Mission theme “Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide” based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 9:35. Each yearbook page bears witness to the abundant possibilities of the church because of the leadership of Christ.

PRESBYTERY OF WESTERN COLORADO - As it celebrates 125 years in the Grand Valley of Western Colorado, First Presbyterian Church of Grand Junction has made a strong commitment to take the church outside the walls and to be Christ's hands and feet in the community. The church has reorganized its staff and ministry teams to put a greater emphasis on community outreach. It also has taken an active role in networking with other churches to help serve the community. First Presbyterian took the lead in organizing ShareFest, a weekend-long event that brings together several thousand volunteers from many churches to help individuals, schools, nonprofits, and several neighborhoods do cleanup and repairs.
