2009 Mission Yearbook

Mission Yearbook 2009For over 116 years the Mission Yearbook has brought the Presbyterian family together daily for prayer and study about a faithful God who does amazing things through people just like us. The stories for the 2009 yearbook were collected around the theme it shares with the 218th General Assembly (2008), "Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). Every day of the year, a different story of faith and hope await you in the 2009 Mission Yearbook.  Trinity Presbytery will place a bulk order.  By ordering through us, each book will cost $5 - much less than the $9.25 cover price.  Click here to download the order form and please note:  the deadline for submitting your prepaid order is Wed., August 20th!!

Have you been considering volunteering to go with Trinity Presbytery to the Gulf Coast Sept. 28 - Oct. 5, 2008 on the joint mission trip?  Here is a link to a short video shot on-site during the two weeks surrounding Father's Day 2008. Fathers and sons were invited to serve together alongside those rebuilding and participating in U.S. Gulf Coast recovery efforts.  This video shares the experience of one father-son team that participated in this special week.  The testimony of this pair sums up what your participation will mean to those in need and how deeply it will affect your faith journey!  After viewing, call Tommy Stallings (803-331-8062)
to reserve your place on the trip.
