OVER THE HUMP AND OUT OF THE SLUMP!




Wednesday—“Hump Day”—as it’s often called, marks the middle of the workweek, and, frankly, can be a turning point to sharpen our focus and help us finish out the week strong.  It can also be a time where we forget about duty, grow weary of working, pine away for the weekend, and finish with a whimper.

Spiritually, we may wonder why we get in a slump after Sunday worship and rather than it being a springboard to greater heights of devotion to God, we plop down into stagnation.  Our good intentions become victims of our lack of convictions.

Wednesdays at Pole Creek may provide the fuel for your spiritual fire to be rekindled!  It may help you get over the spiritual hump and out of the slump!
Beginning August 14, we dive back into the deep end on Wednesday evenings! That’s a lot of consecutive exclamation points! 

Meals resume at 5:30 PM.  Our wonderful kitchen crew will enable us to get something to nourish our bodies as we get ready to nourish our souls.  After a long day at work or school, a delicious meal waiting for you sounds appealing, doesn’t it?

·      Music rehearsals (with a lot of worship and fellowship experienced during that time) return at 6:00 PM for the kids and 6:30 for adults.  Singing about and to the Lord—even in practice—is exhilarating!

      Missions and more for kids happens with the kickoff of TeamKID at 6:30 PM.  KID stands for Kids In Discipleship and is a fun-filled, action-packed way for kids to learn Bible stories, memorize Scripture, learn about and be involved in missions in living out God’s commands.

·       Meaningful Bible study in a small group setting cranks up as Pastor Ben leads “The Foundations,” a 12 week study to drive you deep into the Word of God for a solid foundation to answer humanity’s toughest questions.  Our teens face these questions—indeed mockery—from the disciples of Darwin, and so Pastor Chase will be bringing the students into this study, as well.

Then, on Wednesday night, August 28 at 6:45 PM in the auditorium, I will lead us in the fall study of the Gospel Project.  This will enable those who are workers on Sunday to attend Bible study, and for teachers to get a preview of the coming Sunday’s study to “jump start” them, plus, there will always be people who cannot come on Sunday and this gives them an opportunity for fellowship in the Word!

WOW—the Wonder Of Wednesdays at Pole Creek!  Let us help you get over the hump and out of the slump!

Excited for Jesus,
Pastor Dennis
