We all have a soundtrack to our lives… songs we

connect with places, times, events and people.

Songs that help tell our story. Songs that bring

back memories. Songs that evoke feelings and

strong emotions. Songs that offer hope… I’m sure

as you’ve read this songs come to mind…

In September we are starting a series of messag-

es at Hope Whangarei, working through a selec-

tion of Psalms, The soundtrack of God’s people

for well over two thousand years.

The series is called “Psalms in the Key of Life:

Songs of Hope amidst real life”. (It’s a play on

Stevie Wonder’s great album “songs in the key of

life, 1976, a vital part of my life soundtrack).

Psalm 1 acts as an introduction to the whole

book. Talking of the person who puts their trust

in God a meditates on his word day and night be-

ing like a tree planted by a reliable water source

that never runs dry, and through the rest of the

collection you see this worked out amidst pain

and suffering, joy and sorrow, hard times and

good times, illness and terror, souring song of

praise and deep dark lament, storm cloud and

desert journey, individually and corporately as

God’s people.

It is full of Hope for us as we traverse the same

landscape of life and face the same life issues

trusting the same faithful God. As we do this my

prayer is that your heart would be filled with

song as we see the faithfulness and goodness of

God.

PrayerNet

Hope Whangarei runs a confidential prayer network where 25 people are committed to praying for people in

need. It is centralised through the main of-fice, where prayer matters are sent

out through Trix and/or Karen. An important aspect of this is that

the person being prayed for must have

given their consent. If you have a prayer need –

contact the office or e-mail: trix@hopewhangarei.nz

Likewise if you are willing to commit to praying for others and would like to

join the network, please contact the office.

Children at Worship We love children here at HOPE

Children’s programs run during Morning Worship, except during school holidays.

Activities for children are available at evening worship.

Evening worship food roster.

The evening worship at Hope Cen-

tral is based round a fellowship meal. Over the past few years this

has blossomed into a meal that connects with many people from outside the church and the home-less, and we are looking for peo-ple to help provide food for what is a growing ministry to the com-munity. If you are prepared to provide a pot of soup, or other

food, now and then or a monthly basis please contact Gerry Philpot

4372062.
