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.

Guy Fawkes at WHAC

th

It was one of those days. You know the kind nothing seemed to go right and everything seemed to go wrong one big mess. Anyone but me ever experience an extremely long, hard, painful, and unfair day? One that just plain stinks? Spiritual transformation often occurs during lifes most intense times. These are the exact places God desires His children to shine the brightest. Hopefully, His child will realise every mess in life has the potential to become a ministry opportunity. Gods classroom requires participation. His child must learn dependence on a much greater power to reflect Christ. This empowerment in, through, and beyond his ability reveals a ministry an opportunity to shine brilliantly in the bleakest of times. No wonder it has been said trials dont necessarily make someone, rather they reveal him. Regardless of what you may face a financial setback, job loss, wayward child, health issues, God understands and cares. The wonderful news is, God will do through his child what the child cannot do for himself. Thus an enlightened life lesson is learned; instead of walking in mans strength he learns to walk in Christs strength. Face your battles with courage because the supernatural power of God anxiously waits to manifest itself in great and mighty ways. Though life is hard, hurtful, and unfair, a change will come. Seek after the power of an eternal God and youll find life isnt so bad. For more, go to www.whac.net.nz/resources BIRTHDAYS COMING UP .......
