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: June 23, 2013
MINUTE FOR MISSION: DISABILITY INCLUSION - Parents started it! The Arc of Midland, Michigan, a nonprofit organization that promotes the general welfare of people with developmental disabilities and increases their presence, participation, and inclusion in the community, invited speakers to train those who conduct person-centered plans. Afterward, they met with parents to discuss the needs of their children. Many positive things were shared. And then the theme of worship came up. It was discovered that staff assigned to Sunday morning either took individuals to their own churches or did not go at all! As other barriers were identified, the Arc Faith Group was born.
