For more than 116 years the Mission
Yearbook has brought the Presbyterian
family together daily for prayer and
study. 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.
