BRAZIL

Jim and Carmen Jardine advise that there is a general election in the country on October 1st, and candidates are eager to take office for everything from President to members of State parliaments. These elections are important because in the past 30 years there has never been so much corruption uncovered. Voting is compulsory for those eligible. Please pray for the believers during this time, and that the Lord’s will may be manifest.

LOCAL

A Men’s Meeting  is scheduled for this Friday at 7:30 pm. A review of Gospel work, arrangements for Christmas and the opening of the new Hall at Edenhall Grove are high on the Agenda. We’re conscious also that we have not been distributing funds to overseas missionaries as much as we would like, and if you know of any special needs, please make the brethren aware of them.

The monthly visit to Wheatacres is planned for this coming Sunday.

John Wallace (Hartlepool) is planned to be with us for the Gospel Service next Sunday evening.
