Today in the PC-USA Mission Yearbook

The Mission Yearbook for Prayer and 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 in the 2013 Mission Yearbook were gathered around the question of Jesus to his disciples, “How many loaves have you?” from Mark 6:38. The book is filled with stories of God’s abundance in the face of overwhelming needs and a scarcity of resources.

SYNOD OF THE NORTHEAST - “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)

This promise from Isaiah has become a key text for the Synod of the Northeast.

At its annual meeting in October 2011, the synod decided to move into a season of reflection and discovery. Rev. Dr. Harold Delhagen was appointed and introduced as the synod’s new transitional leader. A team of 10 synod members, diverse in age, background, and interest, has been appointed to work with Rev. Delhagen to look for what God is calling the synod to be and to do next. They brought a report of their discernment to the assembly meeting in October 2012.
