Lifepoint Church

This past Sunday we finished up the Lego series. It was incredible learning about how to L-lay the foundation, E- set the example, G- go the distance, and O- order ice cream to improve our families. You can listen to the messages here or check them out on lifepointmedia.tv.

This Sunday, June 8th, Lifepoint Church will be partnering with over 1200 churches that represent 750,000 people in a dynamic new series called One Prayer. This will be one of the most powerful series we have ever done in the history of Lifepoint Church. If you had one prayer, what would it be? You can read more about One Prayer at oneprayer.com

Also, you don’t want to miss this Sunday because we will be sharing the most exciting news that has ever happened to Lifepoint. It is something that is going be so awesome, you won’t be able to guess it! You definitely want to be there for the big announcement!

• This is a big weekend we have coming up!  It is our third week in the Lego series.  We have already found out the L stands for laying a foundation, E is setting the example.  If you have missed any of these you can watch them at lifepointmedia.tv or listen to the messages here.  What could the G and the O mean?  You’ll have to come to find out as we continue to talk about leaving a “legocy” for families! And you don’t want to be late this Sunday!

• The first step for everyone attending and investigating Lifepoint Church is called Newcomers. You can sign up on the connection card during our weekend service, call the church office, or sign up at the welcome table. As always, childcare is available. Our next one is June 2nd, 6:30 pm at the Annex. See you there!

This Sunday is the last message of our 21 series and marks the last week of our journals. It’s been an incredible journey together so far and the last week is going to be great. This Sunday we’re going to be giving a free gift to everyone there so don’t be late! It’s first come, first served!
Missed last week? You can watch or listen online.

Don’t forget to bring your baked goods for Teacher Appreciation this Sunday!!

Bring any baked good you like on a disposable dish and we are going to fill the break room at Myrtle Grove Middle School with some Lifepoint Love!

This Mother’s Day, we’re kicking off an entire series completely devoted to building strong families. It doesn’t matter if you are a parent or a child, young or old, this series will help you to build families that will last!

As you know, everyone makes mistakes, so if your name did not appear on one of the lists and you did sign up, or if you have just decided that you want to help, all you need to do is pick one of the areas that interests you and go. Your name does not have to be on the list to help so take a look at the previous post and choose one of the locations to help out. Be sure to read the details and come appropriately prepared.  See you all there!

Hope everyone has had a great week and you are ready for a fantastic weekend. We have two huge things this weekend. The first is a new series we begin called 21 and it’s going to be awesome. The second is Hands On Wilmington. You are getting this because you signed up to be apart of this outreach to Wilmington.

Find your name on one of the following teams and then go down to the details for your team. This is a big event and a great opportunity to show God’s love so have fun and represent well!!! Note: We will not meet at Myrtle Grove Middle. Go straight to your assigned project.
