THIS SUNDAY'S MESSAGE
Celebrate Who We Are!
As LifePointe Christian
Church moves toward the beginning of its third year the focus is on the
future. On August 17, we will "Celebrate Who We
Are." Our recent adventure into a deeper connection
with our community has been like an EKG for the heart. On "Faith In
Action" Sunday, we got a good look at the rhythm and strength of our
"heart." God has given us a passion for our community.
During the rest of August,
we will be delving further into the vision we believe God is showing us for the
future. On the weekend of Aug. 23-24 the focus is on "A
Taste of the Process: A Preview of the Land & Building Construction
Process." On Saturday Aug. 23 from 6:30-7:30 at the
Celebration Community Room at Ukrops on Mooretown Road, Jody Forehand
will lead us in a Question-Answer
Session of the "in's & out's" of land purchase,
building design, and the construction process. (No childcare provided –
adults only please.) Jody is the
Regional Director for Visioneering Studios, a design/build company specializing
in "designing
environments that create connections between people, cultures, community, and
the creator." They are
staffed by Christian designers who have a passion for people. On Sunday morning, Aug. 24, during the
worship service Jody will give a brief presentation entitled “The
Seeds of Vision: A 24/7 LifePointe
Campus” – centered on how a church can take a vision and dream for land
and building and make it reality.
LifeGroups make up the main link at LifePointe to
many areas of ministry. This fall our
LifeGroups are expanding with new leaders and new locations. LifeGroups offer a personal opportunity for a
deeper Bible study experience. They
provide the best vehicle for person-to-person relationships. And they are the core apparatus at LifePointe
for ministry and spiritual care. On
Sunday, Aug. 31, we will introduce
the LifeGroup Ministry and its
leaders for 2008-2009 as we center worship on "The Seeds of Vision for Leadership & Ministry."
Each week in
addition to the relaxed-style worship service for adults and teens, at the same time there are
age-appropriate learning experiences for children in KidPointe Elementary,
Preschool, and Nursery classes. For more information about LifePointe,
