My Favorite Day of the Week

For years I have adopted the philosophy that every day is my favorite day of the week. That said, Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. Directly at the center of our weekly schedule are our chapel services. We plan and invest strategically in these services. We desire students to also love their Wednesdays, developing a rhythm of weekly worship and growth in a healthy Christian community. 

This week our elementary chapel services included new faces on the stage helping to lead students in worship. Then our 6th-grade students gathered their 1st-5th grade "families" to mentor them in God's Word. What a great picture of God's design for His people! Corporate worship and small-group growth under the guiding hands of Christian leaders.

Our secondary chapel gave our student-led worship team a week off for Finals Week. Our guest adult worship team rocked the house! How special and exceptional for a group of young people to engage together in praise and worship right in the middle of Finals Week!

Woven throughout chapel was Scriptural teaching on worship the guest parent worship leader/speaker provided 4 simple truths about worship.

1. We were made to worship.
2. We were made to sing as a group.
3. Worship is a weapon against the enemy.
4. We worship because He is worthy.

Using examples from God's design of our mind, body, and spirit, the idea and act of worship were affirmed in our community. Further discussion among small groups continued afterward, along with a "healthy" dose of donuts and life-giving special treats.

While Fridays can't be beat, and Saturdays and Sundays have a joy of their own, (also my favorites by the way), I can't help but declare that Wednesday is my favorite day of the week!
