PRAYER AND PRAISE

Please pray that the Lord would show us what He wants us to address this coming year as we review various aspects of our church life and ministry in the coming months Praise the Lord with us for all of the wonderful connections made through our recent Table for 8. Please pray that the Lord would fill the Kindy leadership with wisdom and direction as they seek to lay a strong foundation for this work. Please pray for our friends at Westgate Baptist church as they commence a large scale addition to their facility. Pray that it would be completed on time, under budget, and that many people would come to faith within those walls. Please pray for Faye Lauaki as she leads a Bible ministry to the elderly in Nursing homes around Auckland. Pray that the Lord would bless that ministry, and that she would be given all of the volunteers that she needs. Pray for a team from Crown College that is ministering at the Envision site in Taipei. This weekend, they will help with ministries at one of the Yunlin County church plants. Pray for protection, good connections with people in Taiwan, and that God will use the team for His glory.

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. The Preschool ministry begins at the start of the service in the Creche, and 5-13 year olds are dismissed part way through the service for Sunday School. 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.
