Please pray that the transitions in our Children's ministry would be led by the Lord, and that the person of His choosing will be apparent to all.

Pray that the Lord would bless that ministry, and that she would be given all of the volunteers that she needs. Please pray for the Carter family as Bruce travels to South Korea for the majority of June. Pray for safety for him, and for Keren as she manages the three children alone.

Are you new to this facility?

We know that it can take a lot of energy to attend a new church, so please note that:
The toilets are located down the passage to the right as you exit the sanctuary. The Preschool ministry begins at the start of the service in the Creche, and 5-13 year olds are dismissed part way through the service for Sunday School. Information on who we are, as well as on all of our ministries are available online at www.whac.net.nz Each week, we share a cuppa together after the service, and would love for you to stay for a chat.

NEWS
40 Days of Community "You were never meant to fulfil God's purposes on your own". WHAC is currently going through the 40 Days of Community, which is a church wide campaign to deepen our understanding of how God uses other people for our good and growth, in addition to how God can use us to bless other people. Please be praying for this important time in the life of our church! Hip Hop returns to West Harbour Every Sunday at 6:00pm, Hip Hop classes are being held here at church. This free class is open to all ages, and students are encouraged to bring friends along. A big thanks to Craig McGowan! In response to the recent notice in the newsletter, Craig McGowan has volunteered to co-lead the Christian parenting course that WHAC will be offering alongside of the Kindy. The tentative starting date for this ministry is July 29th. Please be praying for God's blessing on this important ministry! Seasons at WHAC Phyllis Charlton has been a great blessing to the children and parents of WHAC for many many years as she's served in our Sunday School with grace, passion, and faithfulness. As she transitions into a new season of her life, a new season in the life of our Children's ministry is about to begin as Dianne McGowan assumes the leadership of this vital area of ministry! Please pray the the Lord would lead and guide and empower Dianne as she assumes leadership. A new morning tea roster is coming The morning tea ministry is an important part of building community and fellowship at WHAC. A new roster is being put together, and so please note: If you are currently on it, and would like to stay on board, or, if you are currently on the roster and would like a break, or, if you are not on the roster but would like to be, please write you name on a Communication Card with your desired involvement in the space provided, and drop it in the offering bags. Are you eager to be part of the News Room If you have a talent for presentation and a flair for the computer, we are looking for someone to take over producing our weekly newsletter. If you are interested please see Pastor Matt today.

Looking backwards to move forwards When you're driving, this is a bad idea, but as we seek to grow into the community that God has called us to become, it's indispensable! As such, WHAC ministry evaluation forms are available today for everybody in High School and up to pray through, fill out, and return by June 16th. This is a very important part in our development as a body, so please help us by doing your part.

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

MINISTRIES FOR CHILDREN AT WHAC

Ages 0-2 We have a supervised creche fortnightly in the north side of the foyer. Parents are welcome to either drop their kids off, or stay with them. The other two weeks of a month the facilities will be there, but parents will need to supervise their own children. 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.

Ages 3-7 Ages 8 - 13
