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...

Most of the resources are geared more toward an urban setting. While some principles are universal, the urban church and the rural church are, in many ways, totally different animals. When I saw the book Transforming Church in Rural America, I got my hands on it...

Sunday was a very special time at LifePointe Church. There was a lot going on, and it was all good. I'd have to say Sunday's service was one of the most holy times we've ever had in our short existence.We had baptism, the third time this year.
