I've had a hectic but very, very good week so far. The Pointe is our student ministry at LifePointe Church. This week our youth leadership put together a Summer Camp for The Pointe. We've been at Camp Armstrong, a very nice camp in the Union Co., Mississippi hills. God has awesomely moved at the camp. For myself, I've worshipped the King like I haven't in some time. We had great speakers: Troy Comer ( @TroyComer56...

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...

As a church planter and pastor in a rural area, I'm always looking for resources that relate to our unique setting. Frankly, these are few and far between.

When I saw the book Transforming Church in Rural America, I got my hands on it...

Today was a tough and bittersweet day at LifePointe. We had a wonderful service but was tempered by a bit of down news. Today was the last day our present band played for us on a regular basis. For the past 8-10 months several members of our band have played at two churches, all on Sunday morning. They sacrificed their time to help us have the best worship music we could provide. We're thankful God brought alone...
