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.
Today in the Mission Yearbook: November 21, 2013
PRESBYTERY OF SAN JOAQUIN, CALIFORNIA - On World Communion Sunday, congregations, new church developments, and fellowships of the Presbytery of San Joaquin held a special time of celebration. The many participants, representing many cultures, demonstrated their “One Faith, One Hope, One Lord” (the anthem of the presbytery-wide choir that practiced individually and sang together for the first time that Sunday). The service began with an African processional, which was followed by, and interspersed with, Hispanic congregations leading singing in Spanish, Lao dancers performing the “Holy Spirit Dance,” traditional songs such as “The Church’s One Foundation,” Korean dancers offering the Lord’s Prayer, and video messages from mission workers around the globe. While the Scriptures had been read in several languages before the sermon, no interpretation was needed when everyone gathered around the variety of breads to celebrate Communion. Worship continued with the assembly of hygiene kits for disaster relief, which were filled with items brought by each congregation. In good Presbyterian fashion, an enormous and enjoyable potluck followed.
