PRAYER AND PRAISE

Please pray that the Kindergarten operating in our facility would truly be a light to the community, and would be used by God to draw many people into His Kingdom. Please pray that the Lord would heal Sharilyn Mordaunt's dad (Harry) from his cancer, and for the Mordaunt family as they are apart until late March. Please be praying in advance for our Easter services. Pray for wisdom as we plan, for favour in our community, for passion in our hearts, and for anointing on our activities. Praise the Lord for carrying Frazer Noble through his recent thesis submission, and pray that his defence will go very smoothly. Pray about an upcoming opportunity in a local public school in Portugal. The parents of 2,000 middle school students will be invited to an informational meeting concerning the possibility of evangelical religion and morality classes entering their school. The idea for this meeting was generated by one of the schools directors. God is opening doors.

MINISTRIES FOR CHILDREN at WHAC

Ages 37 Ages 8 13 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.

A Financial Update Thanks for your generosity in giving, this last term saw us give to the Lord 98% of our budgeted giving to the Lord. Praise the Lord and good for you! This small shortfall, combined with our deficit budget means that we had to dip into our savings for $5,091 so far this financial year, but we are confident that as we continue to worship the Lord in our giving, and follow His plan for our lives and our church, He will supply all of our needs. The Kindy Korner The church Kindy is off to a flying start, and would love to have the following goods donated: Yogurt pots Ice Cream containers Butter/margarine containers Plastic bags Non-perishable food to give to needy families Any help is greatly appreciated!

In all things give thanks unto the Lord your God. Enter into His Courts with thanksgiving and praise Him for all His mighty acts. There is nothing too big for Him to answer nor anything too insignificant for Him to care. He makes provision for the most insignificant of His creatures, the butterflies and birds of the air. How much more will He make provision for the dearly beloved people for whom His Son, Jesus died on the cross at Calvary? Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and believe on the Lord, your God. He is willing to heal the sick, to uplift the downtrodden, to make straight the crooked ways, to revive the souls of the backsliders, and to bring peace in the midst of the storms of strife. Rejoice and give thanks.
