<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>Hi brothers,
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>As you can see, bulletin
notices have gone out to all churches concerning Syria. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>This request for prayer and
gifts is a WD&R suggestion. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>We are keen to encourage
churches to participate as they see fit. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>However, we do not know
what local churches have decided.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>So, it is up to the local
church to run the notices and to decide whether or not to give members the
opportunity to give.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>Finally, WD&R is
requesting that churches <U><STRONG>do not replace any of the WD&R
prescribed offerings</STRONG></U> in order to participate in this
appeal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>We are hard-pressed to
maintain the funding of the projects we are supporting right now. So this appeal
for diaconal help through MERF would need to be an extra opportunity for your
members who wish to support this financially. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=110271223-22102013><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for your
