PRAYER AND PRAISE

Please pray that the Kindergarten operating in our facility would truly be a light to the community, and would be used by God to draw many people into His Kingdom. Please pray that the Lord would heal Sharilyn Mordaunt's dad (Harry) from his cancer, and for the Mordaunt family as they are apart until late March Please pray for the leadership and ministry teams in our church as they seek to help people, young and old, move from brokenness to wholeness in Christ through prayer, Sunday School, choir, dance, and worship. Please pray for all of the new, and new-ish parents in our church family as they navigate the many challenges that a baby brings.

We know that it can take a lot of energy to attend a new church, so please note that: 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.

NEWS
A very merry Christmas! Through your very generous gifts given this past Christmas, WHAC has purchased 10 Bibles, 5 Chickens, 2 sheep, 4 bee hives, and 1 calf to send to needy families overseas as an expression of the love of Christ. It's not very often that you get to buys someone a calf for Christmas(!), thank you for contributing!

You're Invited! After church on the 3rd of March, some families from WHAC will be going up to Browns Bay to spend the afternoon at the beach, and YOU are more than welcome to come along. Meet by the playground at 2:30, and be sure to bring some nibbles, cricket bats... and sun block! The Kindy Korner The church Kindy is off to a flying start, and would love to have the following good donated: Yogurt pots Ice Cream containers Butter/margarine containers Plastic bags Non-perishable food to give to needy families Any help is greatly appreciated! =========================================== Colossians 1:15-20 is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[e] 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we cant see such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. 17 He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. 18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.[f] So he is first in everything. 19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, 20 and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christs blood on the cross.

MINISTRIES FOR CHILDREN at WHAC

Ages 37 Ages 8 13 Our Kids Club is divided into two groups, for age appropriate lessons. These take place in the hall during the sermon. A notice will appear on the screen when it is time to dismiss your children.

Can't help but sing? The church choir is always looking for new singers. Maybe you should be one of them! Practices Sunday following the service. Sunday, 3rd of March As the Elders Board seeks to lead us further into fellowship and community, for one special Sunday, we will be moving from rows to circles and tables in a service that features worship, discussion and teaching. The topic to be addressed that weekend has yet to be decided, and suggestions are welcome. A Financial Update Thanks for your generosity in giving, this last term saw us give to the Lord 98% of our budgeted giving to the Lord. Praise the Lord and good for you! This small shortfall, combined with our deficit budget means that we had to dip into our savings for $5,091 so far this financial year, but we are confident that as we continue to worship the Lord in our giving, and follow His plan for our lives and our church, He will supply all of our needs.
