Wednesday Night Fever

Greetings Church Family!

    

You may have heard of Friday Night Fever.  At Abundant Life Church we have been experiencing Wednesday Night Fever.  One definition of fever is:  a condition of heightened activity or excitement.  We have been having close to 40 teenagers in attendance each week, 40 to 50 adults, and around 40 to 50 children sixth grade and younger.  This amounts to well over 100 people on average (probably 120 to 140) that we have had attending each Wednesday evening.  That is a great statistic when you figure we average around 200 people in attendance on Sunday mornings.

After attending a meeting with some other pastors earlier this year and discussing midweek services, I realized we have a great Wednesday night attendance, relatively speaking.  We praise God that momentum is building for this important service.

I believe we are seeing this increase for a number of reasons.  We have always had strong prayer on many of our Wednesday evenings which brings a strong stirring and moving of the Spirit in our lives.  People have been coming hungry and God is really moving in the services.  Last week in our Holy Spirit service God showed up in a tangible way.  We have had great fellowship, activities, and teaching for each age group.

Most recently, we opened our new game room for the 4 to 12 year olds so they have their own activity area before and after service.  Pastor Rebecca has been teaching about purity, dating, and relationships in Velocity.  We had a powerful prayer service last night with another teaching series for the adults called “Jesus, the One and Only” getting ready to begin soon.  There has also been some great fellowship around our Wednesday evening meal.

I am saying all this to encourage you that if you have stopped coming on Wednesday evenings for whatever reason or maybe never have come to the midweek service, you should consider making the effort to attend this service as well.  It will give you a boost in the middle of the week, help you to get to know your church family better, and help you to become a stronger Christian all around.  I know some of you have to work and others can’t come for various reasons, so I am not trying to condemn anyone that can’t make it.  But if you can come, this might be the thing you have been missing to help put you over spiritually and to take you to another level in your walk with God!  God bless you richly!
