Upcoming Events
Fall Registration Begins Next Week
Schick's Crossing Preschool will begin accepting registrations for the Fall 2021 school year next week. Families of Poplar Creek Church can benefit from priority registration as early as January 17th. Registration will open to the larger community on January 23rd. Classes are available for 3 & 4 year olds.
Miss Jen has worked diligently to maintain preschool operations during Covid-19, while other schools have faced unfortunate closures. In light of this, demand for preschool openings is expected to be higher this year so don't delay! For more information, visit the Schick's Crossing website or contact Jen Steichen at jen@poplarcreek.com

Sunday Classes Begin February 7th
Alex and Olivia invite you to join them in a new program called "Sunday Studies". This is an opportunity to take a deeper dive into a topic over a 6 week period in community together. Classes will be taught over Zoom and will be held before and after our Sunday worship service.
Our first series of classes will explore topics relevant to men and women. Alex will lead a men's class from 8:30am to 9:30am called "Be A Godly Man".
Olivia will teach a series called "Warrior Women" from 11:30am to 12:30pm. The content of both classes is available through Right Now Media. Reserve your spot below!

Join Our Prayer Email List
Did you know that there are people who pray for incoming requests and needs throughout the week? Would you like to join in praying for those requests? Joining the prayer chain is a great way to be united in prayer for one another while we are not together. All of the prayer requests we receive are prayed over by our shepherds, members of our prayer chain, and our prayer group that meets on Friday evenings. Prayer is an integral and essential part of the life of our church. Click the link below to subscribe to the mailing list.

YouVersion Bible App Live Event!
Do you like to take notes during the sermon on Sunday? We have an option for you to take notes during the service, and go even deeper with a Bible plan to do throughout the week. Download the YouVersion Bible App for free onto your smart phone. Once you have the app, you can access our live event that will follow along with Sunday services.
Worship Team Opportunity
Do you play drums? The worship team is currently looking to add a drummer to our Sunday morning rotation. There is a very small number of individuals who are in the building on Sunday morning to provide music for worship and livestream the service. Social distancing and masks are used in the effort to keep everyone safe while serving in worship.
If you are interested in joining the worship team, contact Bianca at worship@poplarcreek.com

Are You Missing an Old Camera?
You may or may not remember, but before the Covid shut down, we started a sermon series called "Focus". During that series, the stage was decorated with vintage cameras and equipment. All but two have found their way back home. Are you missing a camera you might have leant out for the stage design?
