FROM THE DIRECTORS

 PTP is for EVERY member of the Lord’s church.
 We have done all within our power to assemble a life-changing event to refresh
 the spirits of those who are laboring in the Lord’s vineyard. Practical topics.
 Outstanding speakers. Convenient lodging. Beautiful locale. Extracurricular
 bonuses. Great singing. Multiple class choices each hour. Wide-ranging themes.
 Ministry Resources. Discounted hotel and free fellowship meals.

 Do you need a spiritual boost? Spend a week with us recharging in the Great
 Smoky Mountains!




 The Power of an Idea
 Polishing the Pulpit began with three friends getting together to brainstorm
 sermon ideas. We soon invited a few other friends and someone said, “This is great!
 We should tell others.”

 We did and invited a speaker to discuss sermon preparation and give sample
 sermons. Interest increased; more speakers were invited. We moved to a
 hotel conference area. We dreamed big. “Let’s invite the best speakers in the
 brotherhood and see who we can get.” They came. Wives wanted in, so we added
 women’s classes. While these great speakers were assembled in one place, we
 decided to offer classes for elders. They loved it. People began coming from all
 over the country.

 Youth workers and deacons became interested. We added tracks for them. PTP
 moved to a large event center in the Smoky Mountains. Attendance approached
 1000. Christians from other nations began coming.

 “Why don’t you have classes for regular members?” we were asked. So we added
 a Spiritual Renewal Weekend, as well as tracks for members, teens, and children.
 Attendance surpassed 1400.

 That brings us to 2010. The largest PTP ever is in the works—102 speakers, 10
 concurrent sessions each hour, 375 separate classes spread over seven days. Our
 attendance goal is 2000.

 What does God have in store for PTP now? Come and see!

sevierville is the gateway into the great smoky mountains.
The Great Smoky Mountains Park is the most-visited National
Park in the United States, and it is within a day’s drive of
two-thirds of the nation’s population. The park has over 4,000
species of plants and animals, some of which live only here.
A walk from mountain base to peak compares with traveling
1,250 miles north. It has a rich cultural history. From the
Cherokee Indians to the Scotch-Irish settlers, this land was
home to a variety of cultures. Located just off I-40 Exit 407,
with great outlet shopping, fun-filled attractions and amazing
shows, the newest lodging (and lowest lodging tax), Sevierville
makes a great place to have PTP and Spiritual Renewal
Weekend. The Events Center is seven miles south of I-40 on TN
State Route 66. Turn at traffic signal number 17.4 (Gists Creek
Road at “Smoky Mountain Parkway”).

ELDERS, DEACONS, & wIVES


elders
For years, the church has invested much in training men to preach and in helping them to continue to
improve their abilities to do their work (lectures, workshops, mission opportunities). At the same time, we have
done little to train and encourage elders in their vital tasks. While we have some of the most capable men in
the brotherhood assembled, we’ve asked them to address topics relevant to church leaders. These classes
are designed for elders, those serving in business meetings, and those who hope to one day serve as church
leaders.


Deacons
Deacons and their wives are essential to the work of most congregations, and they are a vital part of the plan
God gave for the church (1 Timothy 3). But where can deacons go for training? There has not been much
emphasis given to their work over the years. PTP has expanded its slate of classes for deacons again this year.
In some classes, elders and deacons sit side-by-side and grow together in faith, motivation, and ability. At
other times, sessions are split so both groups can receive training more specific to their part of Christ’s work.


elders’/Deacons’ Wives
Without their wives, no elder or deacon could be qualified to serve. Beyond that, these women are usually at
the very heart of the ongoing work of the congregations where their husbands serve. Yet have you ever heard
of classes for elders’ and deacons’ wives? Now you have! At PTP they can receive instruction, encouragement,
support, and motivation to function in the vital role God has given them as church leaders’ wives.

  • 3. FROM THE DIRECTORS PTP is for EVERY member of the Lord’s church. We have done all within our power to assemble a life-changing event to refresh the spirits of those who are laboring in the Lord’s vineyard. Practical topics. Outstanding speakers. Convenient lodging. Beautiful locale. Extracurricular bonuses. Great singing. Multiple class choices each hour. Wide-ranging themes. Ministry Resources. Discounted hotel and free fellowship meals. Do you need a spiritual boost? Spend a week with us recharging in the Great Smoky Mountains! The Power of an Idea Polishing the Pulpit began with three friends getting together to brainstorm sermon ideas. We soon invited a few other friends and someone said, “This is great! We should tell others.” We did and invited a speaker to discuss sermon preparation and give sample sermons. Interest increased; more speakers were invited. We moved to a hotel conference area. We dreamed big. “Let’s invite the best speakers in the brotherhood and see who we can get.” They came. Wives wanted in, so we added women’s classes. While these great speakers were assembled in one place, we decided to offer classes for elders. They loved it. People began coming from all over the country. Youth workers and deacons became interested. We added tracks for them. PTP moved to a large event center in the Smoky Mountains. Attendance approached 1000. Christians from other nations began coming. “Why don’t you have classes for regular members?” we were asked. So we added a Spiritual Renewal Weekend, as well as tracks for members, teens, and children. Attendance surpassed 1400. That brings us to 2010. The largest PTP ever is in the works—102 speakers, 10 concurrent sessions each hour, 375 separate classes spread over seven days. Our attendance goal is 2000. What does God have in store for PTP now? Come and see! PolishingThePulpit.com | 3

  • 10. ELDERS, DEACONS, & wIVES elders For years, the church has invested much in training men to preach and in helping them to continue to improve their abilities to do their work (lectures, workshops, mission opportunities). At the same time, we have done little to train and encourage elders in their vital tasks. While we have some of the most capable men in the brotherhood assembled, we’ve asked them to address topics relevant to church leaders. These classes are designed for elders, those serving in business meetings, and those who hope to one day serve as church leaders. Deacons Deacons and their wives are essential to the work of most congregations, and they are a vital part of the plan God gave for the church (1 Timothy 3). But where can deacons go for training? There has not been much emphasis given to their work over the years. PTP has expanded its slate of classes for deacons again this year. In some classes, elders and deacons sit side-by-side and grow together in faith, motivation, and ability. At other times, sessions are split so both groups can receive training more specific to their part of Christ’s work. elders’/Deacons’ Wives Without their wives, no elder or deacon could be qualified to serve. Beyond that, these women are usually at the very heart of the ongoing work of the congregations where their husbands serve. Yet have you ever heard of classes for elders’ and deacons’ wives? Now you have! At PTP they can receive instruction, encouragement, support, and motivation to function in the vital role God has given them as church leaders’ wives. 10 | PolishingThePulpit.com
