A warm welcome to everyone who joined us this morning. We are delighted to see you all.
Bible and politics — TNT is under way for adults (week 2 of 5). We are digging into the Bible to learn how, as God’s people, we can navigate some key political issues of our day. Let’s come and learn together.
3 Strands — Calling for all ladies! Our next 3 Strands gathering will be on Saturday 31 October at 10am at church. We will start the day with a little Zumba exercise, followed by a Saturday Swap (much like a Sunday market) where we will do an exciting swap of DIY goodies!
Worship Night | 13 November | 7:30–9:30pm | Main Hall — Come and join us for a night of worship and prayer on 13 November from 7:30 to 9:30pm at our church main hall. Together, we’ll fix our eyes on Jesus, remember who God is, and find rest in Him — trusting that He will lead us as we step into whatever comes next.
We are also looking for volunteers to help with different roles, including ushers, someone to prepare snacks, sound, and slides. If you’re interested in serving in any of these areas, please contact Pastor Herman.
Giving
Let us remember the joy of giving and the blessings it brings to both the giver and the receiver. Tithe offering is a duty of all Christians. By giving, we honour God and fulfill His work through our church. May God bless the offering we willingly give. For more details on how you can give, please visit our church website: https://holywordchurch.org.nz/en/giving.
Prayer Items for this Week
Pray that we would know deeply that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, simply because He decided to set His love on us, and not because of anything we have done or achieved.
Pray that we would rest in the assurance of being God’s beloved children, and let go of the need to prove our worth by what we achieve or earn.
Pray that as we begin the new series Life of the Beloved, God would open our hearts to receive His love and show
