PRAYER AND PRAISE

Please pray that our elders would lead WHAC faithfully and effectively this coming year. Please pray that all facets of the new childcare would be done with excellence, and be pleasing to the Lord. Please pray for the Uni students of WHAC. Often times, these young people go through significant challenge and persecution. Pray that their faith and witness would be brilliant, bright and strong. Praise the Lord for how He is providing employment opportunities and financial provision for a number of our church family. Please pray for Frazer Noble as he works to complete his PhD studies in the coming months. Please pray that the Lord bless us with patience and tolerance while the renovations of the church are taking place. Pray for revival and renewal to come to French churches. There is a great need for churches to be salt and light in one of the most secular nations in all of Europe. Pray for openness to the Holy Spirit and a bigger vision for reaching communities for Jesus. Pray for workers, pastors, and leaders to oversee churches.

Sunday School during the renovations

Prayer for the Morning May all I do today begin with you, O Lord. Plant dreams and hopes within my soul and revive my tired spirit: be with me today. Be at my side and walk with me; be my support, that your hand may be seen in every action I take, that your goodness may be in every word I speak, and that your spirit may inhabit my every thought. Make my thoughts, my work, and my very life blessings for your kingdom. In Christ's name I pray,

We love our kids... we love your kids... and we want to Thank you for joining us today and you are warmly keep them around as long as possible. And so, in the interest of safety, from 29 July, Sunday School for ages invited to stay and enjoy some morning tea. 3-13 will be held at Phyllis Charlton's home (22 Tatyana If you would like to talk to or pray with an Elder, we Place) from 10:15am -11:45am.

Once the hall is safe for our kids, Sunday School (and Phyllis!) will return to the facility!

Renovation Update As you will have noticed, the renovations are well underway. It is unfortunate that during this time there will be some inconveniences that will need to be worked through. One of those things that will be affected will be the morning tea after the service. At the present moment, there are no kitchen facilities or running water, which, on the plus side, means that we won't have to do any dishes, but on the down side, means that our morning teas will be a bit lighter for the coming months. There are also no toilet facilities, but we have some port-a-loos available for the "wild at heart!"

MINISTRIES FOR CHILDREN at WHAC

Ages 37 Ages 8 13 Our Kids Club is divided into two groups, for age appropriate lessons. During the renovation period the Sunday School lessons will take place at Phyllis Charlton's home (22 Tatyana Place, Massey) from 10:15am 11:45am. All the children are invited to join in. We would like to thank parents for dropping off and picking up their children. If the children are more comfortable staying with their parents, they are also welcome to remain in the service.

Amen.
