Excitement is building for PYT Delegation

Although statistics generated by the Religious Conference Management Association suggested that Presbyterian Youth Triennium 2010 numbers would be at an all-time low due to the economic downturn, more than 4,700 Presbyterian youth will gather this summer For Such A Time As This!

Discover why the energy is higher than ever on PYT’s Facebook or Twitter pages. Find out what is new at Triennium, for example the Ambassadors, a mentor ministry where senior adults and young people will experience and share faith together at Presbyterian Youth Triennium 2010. Also, watch the Des Moines Presbytery’s Blog for daily updates!
