Interim Associa�on Missionary Thoughts: As we head into September, and hopefully, the

coolness of fall, my heart is drawn to the Season of

Revival. I love when churches have Revival Mee�ngs. I love

the old Revival Hymns like “Revive Us Again”.

Revive us Again;

Fill each Heart with Thy Love;

May each Soul be Rekindled

With FIRE FROM ABOVE

Hallelujah! Thine the Glory,

Hallelujah! Amen

Hallelujah! Thine the Glory,

REVIVE US AGAIN.

Friend, if that doesn’t s�r you heart, you many have a heart

problem. We NEED REVIVAL. Personally and Corporately.

We need to be in a totally surrendered condi�on to the

Lord. We desperately need His touch. Please consider

having a series of Revival Mee�ngs. Please consider leading

God’s Church by teaching on Revival. Please be in Prayer for

Revival. Our Pastor’s Round Table that we had in August

was a.ended by over 30 Pastor and Staff members. We

were there and God was there. It was a �me of Prayer. It

was a �me of ge2ng closer to God and each other. It was a

GOD THING. Coming up this month, there will be a Disaster

Relief Orienta�on Training on the 20th at Calvary Bap�st

Temple from 9:00 – 12:00. We would really like to see the

Disaster Relief Ministry be revitalized in our area again.

Please make plans to go through this orienta�on. We will

have the different Five Phase Training for Disaster in March

of 2015 here in the Savannah Bap�st Associa�on.

Also we will have our Execu�ve Commi.ee Mee�ng on the

30th at FBC Bloomingdale. It will start at 7:00 p.m. Every

Church is asked to a.ended. This is how we, as the

Savannah Bap�st Associa�on, conduct our business,

communicate our vision, keep each other informed, and

carry out God’s workings. Please make plans to a.end. It is

a JOY to be the Interim Associa�on Missionary. Please keep

the Associa�on Missionary Search Team in your prayers as

the search God’s heart on behalf of the Savannah Bap�st

Associa�on in their efforts to fill this posi�on. It is not

always an easy task to be on such a Team, however, it is

always a Blessing to be doing God’s will.

In His Service and Yours,

Rev. Buddy Wasson

Assembly News:

September for me always represents a transi�on

in seasons. Growing up in North Carolina, the month

of September represented the possibility for a last

chance getaway to the beach, a good excuse to fire

up the grill, and the county fair always came through

our area in September as well. School was in full ses-

sion and the year’s new book bag and load of school

supplies were in full use. The seasons were in transi-

�on as the shadows of the morning and evening light

were growing longer, the year had its last chance to

surprise us with a hurricane, and our agricultural

community was always busy gathering in the last of

the year’s harvest; meaning, fall fes�vals were just

around the corner….

Life at the assembly is in transi�on during the

month of September as well. At the assembly, we

have new brochures which will be available at our

Fall Mee�ng. The assembly has a new website.

Please take a moment and visit us at sbassembly.org.

If you are on Facebook, stop by and like us to keep

up to date with events and notes from the assembly.

You can find us on Facebook at Savannah Bap�st

Assembly. In addi�on to our website and Facebook,

we have added our profile to Instagram as well. I

would like to encourage you to come and visit us at

the assembly on-line, or in person, and enjoy this

transi�onal �me of year in quiet reflec�on among

our grounds. Bring a picnic and your walking shoes

and take a short trip to Pineora to experience God at

the Savannah Bap�st Assembly. Come to the

Assembly to rest and renew your spirit within God’s

magnificent crea�on.

Blessings in Christ,

Kevin Alley

Tony’s Tidbits: Fall semester 2014 is underway. The BCM helped to move

students into the residence halls. We blitzed the campus

with informa�on. We helped with a faith based Ice Cream

social in which nine of our churches par�cipated. We had

two days of Open house at the BCM. We had our first lunch

with 100 students. A big thanks to Ardsley Park for the great

barbecue. We had 70 students at our first game night.

Wow! What a great week. We have many more plans for the

near future. Our students are audi�oning and ge2ng ready

for our annual dessert theater for Missions to be held on

Nov. 14-15. Go ahead and get that date on your calendar so

you can be a part of “Borrowed Time”. We kick off our Silver

war campaign to raise money to reach our goal of $5500 in

support of student summer missionaries. Students will also

be par�cipa�ng in our fall retreat Sept. 5-7. Thanks to

Southside, Immanuel and Chevis Oaks for providing host

homes. Service projects, outreach events, small groups and

so much more will be taking place. Wow! Great things s�ll

to come. One our newest ideas is simply called “Fall for

students”. We would like to encourage you to set aside at

least one Sunday night, or a few minutes in a Sunday

morning worship service in late September or during the

month of October to allow a college student to come and

share the difference that Christ is making in their lives. We

want your church to hear of the Great work of God with this

genera�on. In turn we want them to “Fall for students.”

More informa�on to follow soon.

Thanks for partnering with us in this ministry to college

students. Con�nue to pray for God to move in a mighty way.

Let us know how we can help you.
