Dear friends,



I hope you've had an enjoyable summer.


As we look towards autumn, please find attached the September pewsheet and prayer calendar.


Also, below is an encouragement to take part in the Bishops' Prayer Network launch this Monday. A group from St George's will be there!


The Bishops' Prayer Network launch

1 September, 7.30pm at St Barnabas, Erdington

Watch the video (link below) of Bishop Michael and Bishop Esther encouraging us to become part of the Prayer Network.

 

We believe God is calling us into deeper prayer for our city, our churches, and our communities. The Bishops’ Prayer Network will be made up of at least 24 (many more welcome, but a minimum of 24) committed intercessors, people whose longing to see lives changed, justice restored, and the name of Jesus lifted high across Birmingham and beyond is expressed through prayer.

 

As part of the network, you’ll join others in praying regularly, covering four Prayer Weeks across the year, when we will have 24-hour prayer vigils, as well as being ready to respond in times of urgent need. This is about building a culture where prayer isn’t just something we do, but the heartbeat of our diocese.


Come and join us for the launch event, where we’ll pray together, hear the vision, and acknowledge our dependence on God. Whether you're a seasoned intercessor or simply feel God nudging you to pray more intentionally, this invitation is for you. The Bishops' Prayer Network is open to all traditions.

Fundraising Appeal for Mirka's surgery, organized by Stuart Curbishley:

 

 

Fundraising Campaign for Mirka's surgery, led by Bertrand Hubert:

 

Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking the time to read, first, the Fundraising Appeal organised by Doctor Curbishley.

  My forty-year-old closest Friend Miroslava Blahova (Mirka) suffers daily with debilitating and life-limiting internal injuries due to Endometriosis and Neurovascular Entrapment.

  Over the five blessed years that we have known each other, I have witnessed the deterioration of her health accelerated recently by the significant worsenings of these two conditions, to the extent that she is to undergo urgently, on Monday the 26th of February, a risky surgical intervention.

   Having been let down by Czech Insurance Companies, she has not managed, despite Doctor Curbishley's Appeal, to obtain enough financial support to help her meet the heavy costs of this complex surgery. I am therefore asking whether you could, please, kindly help her pay the initial cost (due next Friday the 2nd of February) of the many aspects of this operation expected to amount, in the end, to a total between £35,000 & £45,000, depending on what will need to be done on the day and faced subsequently throughout a lengthy convalescence.

  Apologising for the lateness of my plea, I look forward to your offering, whatever amount you may be kind enough to contribute to Doctor Curbishley's Fundraising Appeal. 

  Thanking you in anticipation, I will be available to answer any questions you may have on:

+44 7453 708208

from 10.30am everyday of this week.

    Kindest regards and warm wishes,

        Bertrand HUBERT
