Official Worker License Questionnaire
The granting of official worker status within the Mid-Atlantic District of the C&MA is taken with great care and concern. This process is not automatic nor routine. Our District Licensing, Ordination and Consecration Council (LO&CC) works hard to ensure that high standards are set and maintained for all official workers.
To help with the renewal process regarding your license as an official worker for the upcoming year (2019), please complete the annual license questionnaire by
November 15, 2018.

Veterans Day 2018
Sunday, November 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ultimately concluded "the War to End All Wars" (a.k.a. World War I). Today the holiday is known as Veterans Day, a time to thank all veterans who have served the United States of America.
On behalf of federal chaplains representing The Christian and Missionary Alliance, we would like to encourage our churches to take time during your services to honor and thank Alliance veterans for their military service, acknowledging that they have sacrificed for their country and done their duty toward the cause of freedom. Resources, including a bulletin insert, poster, social media graphics, a letter to veterans, and a prayer, will soon be made available at
https://cmalliance.org.

2018 Alliance Year-End Offering
One of the world's greatest injustices is that many
people still have no access to the gospel-a reality that is spurring a generation of new workers to commit to taking the good news to the hurting and overlooked.
This year, 60 new clergy, vocational, and community development positions have opened in some of the world's most spiritually desolate places. Our gifts to this offering will help place more new workers in these critical roles.
Resources for the 2018 Alliance Year-End Offering are being prepared for distribution to U.S. Alliance churches in October. Please urge your churches to set aside time in December to promote and present the offering.

What is Seek God for the City?
 Seek God for the City
is a 40-day prayer guide that helps people pray for what matters most by directing their attention toward what God is doing in the lives of people throughout your church and community. Lead your people into a season of praying the desires of God with vivid, relevant prayers from the promises of scripture. These are prayers you don't want to pray alone so consider joining your prayers with a few other churches in your community.
The 40 days to Palm Sunday, March 6 - April 14, 2019, make an ideal time to venture into a season of sustained, hope-filled prayer. The daily prayers are all new and different from last year's prayer guide. It will help your people learn to pray beyond themselves with confidence and clarity.
Seek God for the City
is also available in Spanish and as an app for smartphones and tablets. A Children's Guide is available online at no cost in a PDF format. We are happy to offer a complimentary review copy to leaders in recognized positions of pastoral or prayer leadership for a limited time.
Call us now at 512-419-7729.

Prayer Request:
Pray for continued wisdom and finances and consistent increased giving to our District Church Planting budget.
