   Wednesday and for God's blessing on the next steps for each of
   them.

   Naomi Nixon and her work in developing the IMD programme of
   training for them.
   We pray for the Board of Education as they meet for their annual day
   conference on Wednesday
• for the services celebrating Women’s World Day of Prayer happening
   around the diocese on Friday and all who are involved in leading and
   preaching at them.
• Saturday is International Women's Day and we pray for all women in
