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.

Presbytery staff worked with pastors to recognize the abundant resources God had given them and to create a new way of providing confirmation. In 2011, three congregations in Providence Presbytery and one in Charleston-Atlantic Presbytery joined together to form a confirmation cluster. Youth from these congregations participated in a retreat in January; large-group meetings one Sunday afternoon in February, March, and April; and a closing retreat in May..
