Wednesday Night Prayer Meetings
Wednesday Nights at 5:30 pm | Tabby House Prayer Room
Wanted: Prayer partners to meet together on Wednesday nights in the Tabby House Prayer Room at 5:30pm for corporate prayer. As Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:18, we are to “be alert and always...praying for all the Lord’s people."
We will lift up prayer requests and praises for answered prayers, in addition to lifting up our church, pastors, staff, committees and activities. You may come and go as your time permits. Your prayers may be silent or spoken. If you are uncertain as to how you should pray, ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you (Romans 8:26-27). We have Christ’s promise that when we gather together in His name He will be with us (Matthew 18:20). Please prayerfully consider joining us.
Prayer Requests and Prayers Answered: During the prayer time in our Sunday worship services, names are lifted up to our Lord for healing, peace, comfort, wisdom, strength, and other needs. Please consider filling out a Prayer Request/ Prayers Answered Card which can be found in the Sanctuary pews and by the Offering Boxes in the Ministry Center so that these persons may be prayed for during our Wednesday night prayer meetings. The cards may be placed in an offering plate, an offering box, or turned into the church office.
All prayer requests and praises are confidential.
Contact Gary Thompson at gdt1951@comcast.net with any questions.

Introducing the SonRise Casserole Crew!
We’re excited to launch a new ministry led by Boo Padgett and Jenny DeVan to support the ongoing work of SonRise Servers.
On the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Saturdays of each month, the SonRise Servers volunteer downtown to serve breakfast to our unhoused neighbors in Savannah. To support this ministry, a small team will now meet monthly on the first Thursday at 2PM in the main kitchen to prepare breakfast casseroles for the month ahead.
This is a simple yet meaningful way to serve behind the scenes and help provide warm meals with care and consistency. The team is looking for 4–5 volunteers each month to help cook and prepare casseroles.

Guatemala Mission Trip Interest Update
We’re continuing to prayerfully prepare for our upcoming Guatemala mission trip, and we’d love to hear from anyone who is still interested in being part of the team.
