Because Presbyterians celebrate All Saints' Day

We are grateful for the generations of Saints in all of our congregations who have been faithful stewards of all that God has entrusted to us and sharing that with others.

There will be no Mission Presbytery newsletter during the week of Thanksgiving. We are deeply grateful for our readers, for those who share stories and content, and for all who serve in ministry throughout the presbytery.
