Reports and Schedule are Uploaded on our Website:
The schedule and reports for District Conference have been uploaded to the website. Please go to the
Schedule & Business Session Material section in the Information Center of the
District Conference page. Please note that these reports will
not be printed for distribution at District Conference. Please review them prior to Conference.
International Workers at District Conference:
We will have 4 International Workers at our District Conference this year; Todd Adams, Jeff and Betsy Lawrence, and Donnie Mason. They are attending in order to connect with as many official workers and lay leaders as they can. Please consider inviting them to lunch or coffee while you are there. This will help you know our international workers better.
Benevolence Offering at District Conference:
We would like to encourage to you to bring an intentional gift during the benevolence offering. As you reflect and give thanks for how you have been blessed to give and humbled to receive, may you consider what your congregation may be able to contribute to the needs of our Church community? Online giving for the benevolence fund is available through
Tithe.ly.
DEXCOM Meeting Immediately after District Conference:
All DEXCOM (including newly appointed) members will meet immediately after District Conference concludes in the Eagles Landing Conference room.

DEXCOM Recap
The District Executive Committee met via Zoom video conference on September 18, 2018 for a regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. In addition to prayer, DEXCOM reviewed and discussed reports from District committees and personnel. DEXCOM discussed and took action related to various ministries and personnel in transition.
The following were among the actions taken by DEXCOM:
- DEXCOM approved a Church Planting Budget for July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020 to be referred to District Conference.
- DEXCOM approved the practice of operating on the proposed Fair Share and Church Planting Budgets until District Conference 2018, and referred to District Conference approval of this practice in forthcoming years that present the same timing.
The next meeting of DEXCOM is scheduled for
October 4, 2018, immediately following District Conference.

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.

District Church Plants Updates
Praise:
-
Our Deaf church planter, Bruce, led a college student to Christ Friday! This is the 6th person who's given their life to Christ in the last 2 months (1 every other week - 3 David/Baltimore, 2 Eddy/Fredericksburg, 1 Bruce/Gallaudet). Dare we pray someone give their life to Christ in October and make it 3 months in a row!
Prayer Request:
- Pray for continued wisdom and finances and consistent increased giving to our District Church Planting budget (it received $14,900/month in July-August but needs $17,000/month for new churches in DC DE MD & VA). If every person in our MAD churches gave $1/week we'd be back on track.
