The story of a sometimes growing, sometimes shrinking, sometimes embattled young people’s organization.
Our first Presbyterian Young People’s Society weekend was the catalyst that transformed our youth group from a small, improbable family affair into a vital, ongoing ministry. There is no single experience of PYPS. It once thrived in every synod in the country.
