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: July 21, 2013
MINUTE FOR MISSION: SMALL MEMBERSHIP CHURCHES - For most of us, our journeys of faith involve crisis. At the time I write this, the congregation I serve, Brighton Presbyterian Church in Zanesville, Ohio, is journeying through crisis. Like the many other small congregations preparing for life without a full-time pastor, we are renegotiating what it means to be the body of Christ in our neighborhood. In this new configuration, how do we create disciples? How do we study and worship together? How do we carry out our mission and ministry? Our comfortable faith is being challenged.
