PRAYER AND PRAISE

Pray that the parents - both soon to be and well established - at WHAC would be filled with wisdom and love for their children. Pray that the Lord would raise up the perfect Head Teacher for our childcare, and that those in leadership would recognise His choosing. Praise the Lord for the 26 people who received Christ as Saviour during the Alliance Ministry trip to Tonga. Please pray Barry Thomas' parents. His mother has just recently come home from hospital, but his dad is currently fighting a virus. Pray also for the family, as they seek to care for them. Please pray for Frazer Noble as he works to complete his PhD studies in the coming months. Pray for an outreach to teenagers on the first Saturday of each month in Thailand. Pray that more young people will decide to follow Jesus. Also, pray for effective follow-up of those who already believe.

Sunday School during the renovations We love our kids... we love your kids... and we want to keep them around as long as possible. And so, in the interest of th safety, from 12 August, Sunday School for ages 3-13 will be held at Phyllis Charlton's home (22 Tatyana Place) from 10:15am -11:45am. Parents are welcome to drop their children off, or to stay and help them settle for as long as necessary. Once the hall is safe for our kids, Sunday School (and Phyllis!) will return to the facility! Worship at WHAC The Psalms encourage us to sing new songs to the Lord... and we take that seriously at WHAC! To help us do that well, a New Music CD will be available ($10/each) in September for you to worship and listen and learn at home or on the beach, or even when you're doing the dishes!

Speaker: Matt Mordaunt

Thank you for joining us today and you are warmly invited to stay and enjoy some morning tea. If you would like to talk to or pray with an Elder, we encourage you to make yourself known to one of the Worship Team and they will assist you.

A student from the Alliance church in Pakuranga is doing a masters degree in nutrition at Auckland Uni. He is looking for healthy women who have a minimum Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25-40 (which is not very much overweight) to eat, and then answer questions about how full you're feeling. So if any of you or any of your friends are interested to make $180.00 just eating food, please email Wilson at wilsonyiphknz@gmail.com, but hurry, he only needs 3-4 more women to complete his study.

Prayer for Each New Day You are ushering in another day, untouched and freshly new, so here I come to ask You God if You'll renew me too? Forgive the many errors that I made yesterday, And let me try again dear God, to walk closer in Thy way. But Father, I am well aware, I can't make it on my own. So take my hand and hold it tight, for I can't walk alone. Amen.

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.
