Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study, 2010.

The 2010 mission yearbook is here. I have sent the yearbooks ordered this summer and, as suggested by the Mission Committee, I've sent two copies of the 2010 yearbooks to each church. This is a tool to help you see the national and world wide reach of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

I have two additional yearbooks available for sale for $8.15 each.
