81 Namatjira Drive, Waramanga ACT 2611
30th June 2023
during the morning service
for the purpose of electing the Nominating Committee for our upcoming AGM
This is a season to intentionally slow down and connect deeply with God. For this to be meaningful it’s helpful to decide:
- what to fast from (avoid or minimise) and
- what to feast on (spend more intentional time on)
As a church we will be cutting back some programs so we can all spend more time to rest, pray and refocus.
FAST FROM: Think about what distracts you or takes up unnecessary amounts of time. You could choose to fast from: TV, Coffee, Multimedia, Sugar, Games, Meat, Magazines, Alcohol, Sports, Dairy, Extra Work/Overtime or Intimacy
FEAST ON: Think about what draws you closer to God and allows you time to be in His presence: You could choose to feast on: Prayer walks, Daily Bible readings and a Bible plan, Daily worship and praise, Creative Worship and Journalling, Praying and Listening to God, attending weekly Church Services, listening to Godly Podcasts, attending the Healing Rooms, Times of Silence, getting more Rest and Sleep, eating only Healthy Food.

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY MEETING
for the Formal Members of
Woden Valley Alliance Church Inc
81 Namatjira Drive, Waramanga ACT 2611
11th February 2024
(11am - Immediately after the morning service)
Please refer to the attached letter from the Chairman of the Board of Elders, in regard to the Extraordinary Meeting to be held on 11th February 2024.
All Formal Members are expected to make every effort to be present for this important meeting.
Once a year we have an opportunity to give a love offering to God. It is appropriate that it is around the same time as Valentines day. It is your way of being thankful to God for all His blessings. This year our Love Offering will be on 11th February.
Some say that it should be directed to some project with some price tag, I don’t believe that is what it is about! It is a love offering between you and God given to Him through the church. This is not replacing your usual Tithe but an extra offering on top of what you would normally give. Generally, we give from our overflow, may this be a gift from your heart to God’s.
You can give in the following ways
- Direct Debit (with the reference Love Offering)
- During the service on 11th February (mark your gift "Love Offering")
- Clicking on the payment link to pay via Credit Card
2 Corinthians 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
The C&MA Australia would like to assist the Jaffray Theological Seminary, Makassar, Indonesia with our Christmas Offering this year.
Funds raised will go to the following:
- New books for the campus library
- Building a new girls dormitory
We want to bless struggling families from Mt Stromlo High School & Arawang Primary Schools this Christmas.
Please mark your donations (cash or direct debit) "Christmas Hampers" or click on the payment button on the left.
Last date for donations is 3rd December
