Please be in prayer for the following people and situations this week

Prayer Concerns from our network of ministry colleagues in Savannah Presbytery
-- Significant health concerns
Suzanne Baroody (wife of the Rev. Dr. Alan Baroody; director of counseling at the Fraser Center in Hinesville), she continues cancer treatments
The Reverend Herman Pride (Honorably Retired Pastor, who leaves our area this week as his family relocates to Louisiana)
The Reverend Joe Brice (Blackshear PC)
Ginger Sifford
Ron Polmanteer
Pat Ragsdale
-- New babies on the way
The Reverend Will Shelburne (Associate pastor at First PC Savannah), and his wife Sara, who are expecting a child in early June.
Ministry candidate Craig Pope (Pastor-elect, Montgomery Presbyterian Church, Savannah) and his wife Ashley expect a baby in July.
-- Marriage for one of our presbytery staff
Lou Ellen (Burdick) Hartley got married earlier this year. She is our presbytery staff specialist for Christian Education and camping.
Our congregation has elected of our eight members to serve on this year’s Officer Nominating Committee. Please pray for their upcoming work that this group – and our future deacons and elders – will be attentive to God’s direction for our leadership boards, and the whole church’s ministry.
Please be in prayer for our Neighborhood Discovery Tours going on now, as members of our church go out to neighborhoods, shopping centers, recreational sites and other places on Sunday mornings. Our goal is to listen and observe, so that we can find some of the specific issues facing the people of Bryan County. After this part of our process, we will begin to work toward becoming the bridge which can connnect our neighbors’ needs and requests with our Lord’s promises and responses. (There are still opportunities for you and others to help in this process. Speak with Pastor Greg or one of the elders to find out how you might be able to take part.)
Please pray for the work of the search committee which is now working in the Presbytery of Savannah to find our next General Presbyter, the person who essentially leads our presbytery staff and serves as pastor to the 43 congregations in southeast Georgia. That group is now considering candidates to follow the Rev. Carl Schlich who has retired. (The Rev. Greg Garis is now serving us as our interim executive.)
Cheryl Fox’s friend, Diane, who has successfully finished chemo and is awaiting the start of radiation for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Please keep her in our prayers through her radiation.
Also, Cheryl has asked us to continue to remember Jenny and John Sharp in your prayers….Jenny had another test for cervical cancer and, praise the Lord, there is no cancer found this time. Her mother is calling it a miracle as she was sure Jenny was facing surgery and possibly chemo. Jenny’s husband, John, is to start chemo very soon. He is doing much better after his surgery, and they both are thankful for out continued prayer for them and their families.
Bobby Tomlin who is recovering from bypass surgery
Mary Ann Jones as she makes decisions regarding her elderly mother’s care and possible move from NY to Richmond Hill
Frankie Crosby
Jennifer Smith and her family. Jennifer is recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor and is receiving follow-up treatment.
Donald and Susannah Fawcett appreciate our prayers. They have received good news following tests. Donald will continue to be under a doctor’s care but tests for serious conditions proved to be negative.
Paul Gibbs (Ellen Parker’s brother-in-law) returned home from Africa with the Mission Team he was traveling with. The trip held some unexpected turns and the team did not receive the materials that had been shipped over 4 months ago due to problems at the Port in Africa. However, he feels that they touched many lives including their own and is in prayer that the people there will eventually received the materials and be able to build their Church. He thanks you for your prayers.
The Warner family
Jill Harris, a friend of the Martinez family, who is being treated for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Jill is 40 years old and is the mother of two children.
Roxanne and Shawn Clements and their new baby girl, Parker, who was born early at 27 weeks. Parker is gaining weight and doing well, although she had a scary setback last week. The last I heard, she was recovering from that and is doing ok.
Deb Hollis is scheduled to have back surgery.
Jerry and Frances Rutland
Eleanor and Graham Leggett
Jennifer Blanton’s father, John Ross
Cora, a friend of Olivia Bell’s, who has leukemia

Please join us in praying for the following people and situations this week.
Ron Stover as he continues to recover from surgery. I do not know whether he was able to come home yet or not.
Jennifer Blanton’s father, John Ross. Ricky says that Jennifer may try to come home for few days this week. Her dad remains in serious conditions and the family appreciates our prayers. I received their home address in an email at school, if you would like to send a card.
John & Kris Ross
4841 Thornhill Drive
Acworth, GA 30101
Eleanor and Graham Leggett- Her condition has improved to the extent that she is now able to return to their home in Midway. She was scheduled to be discharged from St. Joseph's hospital on Thursday evening. She will be at their house in Midway, and Odyssey Hospice is involved in her care. (Greg reminded us this week that the care provided when hospice is involved is focused on symptom management, and care for the patient and the loved ones. It is not necessarily a diagnosis nor a time frame.)
Owen Thayer as he recovers from major surgery to remove a cancerous tumor this week
My sister, Beth Gibbs, as she has tests run in the coming weeks to hopefully rule out any serious concerns.
Mallory Ambrose will be meeting with a surgeon on Tuesday for a biopsy of two cysts on her brain. The cysts were discovered following her getting hit in the head with a softball and necessary treatment for that injury. The doctor’s think they are pre-existing.
Her mother feels that the accident was God's way of alerting the doctors to this more serious issue. Everyone please keep Mallory in your prayers, along with her family, friends and doctors.
Cora, a friend of Olivia Bell’s, who has leukemia
Jerry and Frances Rutland
Carol Hartley- Carol is home now after an extended hospital stay. I understand that she is slowly on the road to recovery, but she is not back at work yet.

Jennifer Blanton’s father, John Ross. Here is an update that we received from Jennifer this afternoon
I wanted to give everyone an update. My father's test came back negative - meaning he could continue Heparin for now. That was a wonderful answer to many prayers! He continues to remain stable today, and we are praying that he continues to respond to the blood thinners. Thank you to everyone who has kept me and my family in their prayers. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. He is still bleeding internally and blood clots remain a serious concern.

We wish you a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day!
Please join us in praying for the following people and situations this week:
We thank Tim Bare for speaking with us this morning about the wonderful work that is done by the Gideons across the United States and the world. We pray for the continued success of this important ministry.
For the family of young Caleb who passed away this week. I apologize that I do not have further information. Please let me know if you do.
Joanne and Ted Greer and Joanne’s sister and brother-in-law, Kathy and Bill Davis- Joanne has been on our prayer list recently as she has been fighting cancer. She is now receiving Hospice care. Ted is currently in remission with prostrate cancer, as well. In addition, Bill had a heart recently and is recovering at home following treatment. Please be in prayer for all of their family during this very difficult time in their lives. They were very active members of our Church family in the past and I know that they will appreciate our prayers.
For Jerry and Frances Rutland-Jerry has not been doing very well for a few months, His COPD has weakened his sick heart and he is now under Hospice care. Mellie and David called the Rutlands and Mellie sent the following message: We called the Rutlands today. They seemed well and pleased to be in a good church and now have the support of Hospice. Jerry was glad for Frances to have help. We will talk again soon. If you would like to send Frances and Jerry a card, their address is:
4400 Hoffmeister Drive/ Waxhaw, NC 28173-6883
We praise God and congratulate new parents, Steve and Tiffany on the occasion of the birth of their first child, Emily.
And new grandparents Scott and Lisa Yackel on the birth of grandson, Maxwell Scott Yackel.
(I predict an arranged marriage by their grandparents one day!J)
And new grandparents, Tom & Kathy Prusa on the birth of their granddaughter, Elizabeth Grace Prusa
Dan King thanks everyone for their prayers and thoughtfulness: Every card and phone call wishing me a speedy recovery was a blessing of its own. And I wanted everyone to know that each card and call was truly appreciated. Thanks for once again showing how blessed we all are to be a part of the Family in Christ at RHPC.
Carol Hartley, our art teacher at RHPS. Carol has been in Memorial Hospital for over two weeks now. She hopes to be coming home this coming week.
