Sunday was just a really good day at LifePointe Church. Our attendance was back up to our summer average after a July 4th dive. Quite a few new faces, as well, which is always exciting.Our band increased in size, with a couple of our young ladies singing the opening song. They did a really good job with the song "Give Me Your Eyes." For the rest of our worship time, one of our guys sang backup. I love seeing...

With lots of young families and a holiday weekend, I was expecting our crowd to be slim. And we did have a lot of our regulars out but several new faces were there.
