MISSION 2012 IS A SUCCESS

Many friends and members of Pittsboro Presbyterian Church have participated in the Mission 2012 gatherings following worship. The very least anyone could say is that we've eaten well throughout September. But, that would be missing a huge piece of these meetings - their combined input towards the mission life of our church as well as the energy they have brought to our congregation through August and September. I have linked the results of our Mission 2012 gathering for your review and sharing.
