Please be aware of the need to refresh our memories with general background information before sharing the request for prayer or praise.

We probably need to share about one G.B.M. worker at each M.P.M. as there are so many.
As we already have a couple of missionary evenings booked for the autumn the likely dates for these special prayer meetings will be 3rd September and 17th December. Obviously urgent requests for prayer can be shared at any prayer meeting.

Request from district secretary:

"On Saturday 12th September the AGBC(SE) South East District will be holding a District Fellowship Day at The Pantiles Baptist Church, Tunbridge Wells. This is an afternoon activitity which will include a walk in the local countryside, followed by tea at the church. The afternoon will commence at around 2.00pm

This is an opportunity for everyone in the district to get together for a time of informal fellowship and to enjoy the Kentish countryside and I would ask all of you to encourage the members of your fellowship to attend if possible.

In order to assist with the catering arrangements, please could you let David Levell know by Saturday 5th September how many members of your fellowship are likely to attend.

The next District Prayer Meeting will take place at Borough Green on Thursday 10th September. Please make a note in your diary. Items to be included in the prayer list should be emailed to me by Monday 7th September at the latest."
