Information:
The Fall Stated Meeting will be held at Metter Presbyterian Church (611 South Lewis St) on Thursday, October 8 at 10 am. We will worship together and carry out the necessary business of the meeting then will enjoy a buffet lunch at Bevrick’s Restaurant just down the street from the church. The lunch will feature a presentation by the Rev. Dana Waters, a minister member of our presbytery, who is the Presbyterian Foundation’s Ministry Relations Officer for the Southeast (AL, FL, GA, MS, and PR). Dana’s program will be helpful for pastors, treasurers, and members of Stewardship & Finance Committees, and Sessions. We encourage our churches to send more than just commissioners to this meeting!
Today, White Bluff Presbyterian Church has returned to the Meeting House model of ministry, well established by those who have come before us. Our buildings play host to an intentional network of social service agencies that operate on campus. We have Inspiritus, Neighbors Feeding Neighbors food pantry, AA, The Grow Initiative, Catholic Charities, Scouting USA, and Coastal Georgia Memories all holding offices and serving their clients here. The church, we believe, is meant to serve our neighbors and to build community for human thriving. Although our membership numbers have shifted over time, we are still doing ministry in partnership with these agencies. And we believe this allows us to be a church reformed and always being reformed according to the Word of God.
Thank you for traveling to meet with us here. We welcome you as sisters and brothers in the grace of Christ, and we offer our blessings to you, your families, your communities, and your ministries. May God lead and guide us all as we navigate the world as it is, holding on to our faith and giving our best in worship and in service with one another.
Grace and peace attend us,
Pastor John G. Ruehl, IV
Savannah Presbytery is made up of all congregations of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) located within the geographical bounds of Savannah Presbytery except any congregations which are members of non-geographic presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The presbytery meets in person at least three times per year, usually in October, February, and May. The location of presbytery meetings ordinarily rotates among the different churches. A Zoom option is available when the Wi-Fi and technological system of the host church allow for it. A quorum for a meeting of the presbytery consists of one-quarter of the minister members of the presbytery plus ruling elder commissioners from one quarter of the member congregations of the presbytery.
