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. How often have you wondered, where are the young adults in the PC(USA)? Wonder no longer. The 2014 Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study is devoted to the theme of young adults in the church. Its stories, many told by young adults, lift up how Presbyterians of all ages are engaging and joining with Presbyterian young adults in reforming the church for Christ’s mission.

PRESBYTERY OF CENTRAL NEBRASKA - While the vast mammalian herds no longer migrate through this region, avian species provide awesome seasons of incredible natural beauty to central Nebraska.

For church to happen here, Presbyterians must be prepared to hang tough together, cooperate with their neighbors, and be engaged in ecumenical dialogue. In Keystone, one of America’s oldest shared church buildings (now a museum) was built to accommodate both Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. Its pews, installed using railroad-bench mechanisms, can be oriented to face the Catholic altar on one end of the church or the Presbyterian pulpit on the other.
