NEWS
Holiday Club at WHAC

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 It's amazing but true that God's grand plan for your life is far greater than you can imagine. In fact, this earth-bound existence has us so preoccupied with the demands of life that most of us give little thought to what it will mean to be completely sanctified. In the Christian life, sanctification is a three-stage process. At the moment of salvation, God sets us apart for Himself. Then throughout the rest of our earthly life, He works to transform us into the image of His Son. One day, however, there will be a glorious culmination to our sanctification. Presently, we all struggle with sin, but when we die, our spirits and souls will ascend to heaven and be completely sinless. Then we'll see our Saviour face to face and experience unimaginable joy. No longer will we struggle with the pride of life or the lusts of the flesh and the eyes (1 John 2:16). However, as great as this will be, it's not yet the final step. Some day in the future, Jesus will descend from heaven, bringing with Him the souls of those who have died in Christ. They will be united with their resurrected bodies, and believers who are still alive on the earth will be changed (1 Thess. 4:14-17; 1 Cor. 15:51-54). Then sanctification will be complete--spirit, soul, and body. This is not a fairy tale, but the believer appointed destiny. God Himself promises to bring it to pass. We'll walk in His presence, spotless and without blame, for all eternity. Knowing this, how will you live today? The promise of salvation isnt meant just to give hope, but to spur us on to holy living.

From April 16-20, WHAC will be hosting a holiday club called Pandamania for children in our Thank you for joining us today and we warmly invite you community. This club takes Psalm 139 as it's theme verse, and communicates over and over again that to stay and enjoy some morning tea. If you would like to talk to or pray with an Elder, we "God is WILD about you!" through songs and crafts encourage you to make yourself known to one of the and games and teaching and fun. We are hoping for a large number of children to come, but need lots of Worship Team and they will assist you. volunteer support to make it happen. If you would like to help, please talk to Pastor Matt. A Ministry Update As a result of a financial surplus in our 2010-2011 budget, we sent $1,000 to assist in the ministry of the Christian radio station on the main island of Tonga. Over the Christmas season, they gave away $5,000 worth of food hampers to needy families, and this is what they had to report: "We start at 10:00 in the morning and finish at 11:00 pm everyone was exhaust but bless and even moved to continue visiting some of the families next year.... There were several amazing thing happen: Some of the families (poor) open up their heart and receive the Lord as their Saviour among those families are Mormon. That's the highlight of our visit being blessed by the new souls win to the kingdom of God..." What a privilege we have to partner with such an amazing ministry!
