On the front cover of every newsletter, one can
find the mission statement of the Savannah
Presbytery; the very first line is “United in
the love of God…” We are 41 churches and one
new church development united together in a
common bond and linked to one another by our
presbytery. In order to strengthen that bond,
we invite every congregation to pray for one of
the other congregations in the presbytery.
Following an alphabetical listing of the
churches, every week we will lift up a
congregation, their pastor, clerk, and session
in prayer. We urge you to make this a weekly
part of your bible studies, Sunday schools,
prayer meetings, and/or individual prayers.
Let’s unite in prayer for each other!
