Once again, God graced LifePointe and we had another wonderful time together. The place filled up and there were lots of new faces with us. After the service we had a young man become a new follower of Jesus Christ. There's nothing better than that!We had some special guests today. The praise band from First United Methodist Church, here in Amory, took on the role as our band this morning. Two of our guys, Jeff...

I was blown away. Of course I'd heard the quote most attributed to Jim Elliot: He is no...

LifePointe Church had a fantastic day today. We're still down a bit in attendance, but baseball and softball are about to wrap up. So when everyone gets back we're going to be pressed for room. A great problem to have. Bob, our worship leader, was out today. This left James to lead the worship. Today was his first go at it and I have to say he did a great job! With Drew on drums, there were four young ladies...

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.

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...
