NEWS
Holiday Club at WHAC From April 16-20, WHAC will be hosting a holiday club called Pandamania for children in our community. This club takes Psalm 139 as it's theme verse, and communicates over and over again that "God is WILD about you!" through songs and crafts and games and teaching and fun. We are hoping for a large number of children to come, but need lots of volunteer support to make it happen. If you would like to help, please talk to Pastor Matt.

So Jesus answered "Have faith in God." Mark 11:22 (NKJ)V We've established that faith is belief that reaches beyond this world. It's like an arrow that an archer launches into the darkness of night. But if that's the case, what's the target? The Bible resoundingly answers that question by telling us again and again that the object of our faith, the target of our trust, is to be God.

MINISTRIES FOR CHILDREN at WHAC

Ages 0-3 Ages 37 Ages 8 13 If you need to take your infant out of the service, we have a crche available. 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.

That's an important point because in some circles there are those who teach that our faith needs to be in our own faiththat if we just believe long and strong enough in something, it will produce positive results. But faith is only as valid in the object in which it's A Ministry Update placed. Faith placed in other people or their promises is As a result of a financial surplus in our 2010-2011 budget, we always going to be lacking in the end. However, faith sent $1,000 to assist in the ministry of the Christian radio placed in God's person and promises is quite another station on the main island of Tonga. Over the Christmas season, they gave away $5,000 worth of food hampers to story. Faith in Him will never come up short, which is needy families, and this is what they had to report: "We start at why Jesus told us to "have faith in God." 10:00 in the morning and finish at 11:00 pm everyone was And we don't just hear this from Jesus. Jehoshaphat exhaust but bless and even moved to continue visiting some of exhorted Judea to "have faith in the Lord" (2 Chronicles the families next year.... There were several amazing thing happen: Some of the families (poor) open up their heart and 20:20). David exhorted his readers to "trust in the receive the Lord as their Saviour among those families are Lord" (Psalm 4:5). Isaiah encouraged his audience to Mormon. That's the highlight of our visit being blessed by the "trust in the Lord forever" (Isaiah 26:4). The author of new souls win to the kingdom of God..." What a privilege we the Book of Hebrews speaks of the importance of have to partner with such an amazing ministry! having "faith in God" (Hebrews 6:1). And even Peter reminds us that "your faith and hope are in God" (1 Peter 1:21). MEETINGS COMING UP.......

The consistency and continuity can't be denied or ignored. Faith, biblical faith, the kind of faith that believes beyond the limits of this life, is to be placed in God. Not man, not materials, not mantras, but God. And when He becomes the target of our trust, faith becomes the effective factor we read about in the Bible. Trust in the LORD with all your heart(Proverbs 3:5 NKJV)
