PRAYER AND PRAISE

Stella wishes to say thank you for your prayers for her great-grandson Elijah, who is waiting for surgery on his 2 month old heart, and for Rhys with his broken foot. Both are making good progress, but please continue to pray! Please pray for John & Nicolette as well as Colin & Stella. Pray that their weddings would be beautiful and joyous occasions, and that their marriages would be strong, and healthy, and honouring to the Lord. In July, the Alliance work in Quito, Ecuador will lose a facility in which it has been housing 40+ children whos parents are currently in prison. This ministry seeks to show and teach the tangible love of Jesus, but needs $330,000 to purchase its own facilities. Please pray.

Are you new to this facility?

We know that it can take a lot of energy to attend a new church, so please note that: The toilets are located down the passage to the right as you exit the sanctuary. We have a crche available diagonally from the sanctuary should you wish to take your infant out from the service. The Childrens Ministry begins part way through the service. This is for children between the ages of 3 13 years. Information on who we are, as well as on all of our ministries are available online at www.whac.net.nz Each week, we share a cuppa together after the service, and would love for you to stay for a chat.

416 8991 Pastor Matts office hours are 9am 11.30am Tuesday-Friday. If you would like to drop by outside these hours, please ring the church before you come.
