PRAYER AND PRAISE

Please pray that the ministry team in Tonga would be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit while they're away. 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. Praise the Lord for a church leadership team that was formed among leaders in Brazzaville, Pointe Noire, and Northern Congo. Pray that their ministry will impact their country for Christ as they shine His light into the spiritual darkness.

We have a crche available diagonally from the sanctuary should you wish to take your infant out from the service. The Childrens Ministry begins part way through the service. This is for children between the ages of 3 13 years.

It is unfortunate that during this time there will be some inconveniences to those of us who are at church. 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. There are no toilet facilities but we have some port-a-loos available. Also until further notice there will be no Sunday School for the children. Apart from the practical reasons of no space or electricity, there is a safety issue involved. Children are welcome to stay in the service. The choir is coming, the choir is coming! On August 5th, we will be taking time to thank God, in a special way, for His care and blessings in our lives. As part of this special weekend, the WHAC choir will be taking part in our morning service, and if you would like to join the fabulous, growing choir, please see Sean Jung. We are meeting today after the service. And please note: No previous experience is necessary!
