How Do I feel about Easter @ Life Pointe Church
About like this.
Great smiles! I was grinning from ear-to-ear yesterday too as God did some really good things at both campuses.
- Phil, Chris, and Mark have their thoughts. Check them out.
- Check out more of the pics from yesterday here.
- Bottom line, we had a monster day. We didn’t do a mailer in Homestead. The schools were on Spring Break. Still, people mobilized like crazy nd brought their friends with a great crowd in the 9 am and completely packing out the next two services we had yesterday.
PLANTATION KEY
- This campus is continuing to shape up into a beautiful community! I love it.
- There have been tons of improvements almost entirely at the hands of some amazing volunteers.
- The service was packed. We actually had to bring in chairs. It was perfect.
- We also had our new LPC-PK Kids Life Director, Danielle Ovando on the job for the first time.
- She and Rafael both grew up in the Keys. She’s been a part of our Kids Life ministry for some time.
- Rafael has done a ton of electrical work for us on this campus. They’re fully vested and I dig that!
- Matt continues to connect with God and our people as he leads worship…very proud of him and what he adds.
- We had a ton of new friends here. I can really sense that this is going to be an amazing faith community. We haven’t seen a glimpse of what God wants to do through us here.
HOMESTEAD
- The Homestead campus was on fire!
- You never know what’s going to happen in a service. During the 10:30, there were dueling preachers for a minute.
- I felt like I was on Mystery Science Theater 3,000 for a bit.
- Fortunately, the Homestead campus is generally a group of overly agitated, recovering road-ragers. So, the person was told to shut up by a few people…one of the reports was a little more colorful than others.
- One of my favorite parts of the morning was a special celebrity appearance by Ela Ortega. She has a servant’s heart like no other person I’ve met…and in the face of unbelievable physical obstacles.
- When she shows up, you would think that Michael Jordan was there. She has fans.
- Jesse introduced some new songs yesterday.
- Curtis co-lead a portion of the worship set for the first time and rocked it!
- We had awesome crowds and a lot of people choosing to take first steps with Jesus!!!









It was great having Ela there—hasnt been the same without her…

I LOVED EASTER SERVICE! I WAS BLOWN AWAY HOW CROWDED IT WAS… THERE WASN’T ANY ROOM TO SIT, I LOVED IT, AND AM SO GLAD I COME EARLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET MY FAVORITE SEATS
TRAVIS MAKES EVERYONE FEEL COMFORTABLE, AND JUST BRUSHES OFF IN EVERY DIRECTION. YOU CAN’T HELP, BUT TO SMILE AND SPREAD THE LOVE! TRAVIS EDUCATES ABOUT JESUS WITHOUT FEELING LECTURED! I WALKED IN LIFE POINTE BACK IN OCTOBER, AND HAVE COME WITH MY FAMILY EVERY SUNDAY SINCE! MY HUSBAND, AND I HAVE LOVED OUR LIFE GROUP! YES, WE ARE THE ONES WITH ALL THE KIDS
I AM PRAYING THE FRIENDS THAT CAME THIS SUNDAY WIL CONTINUE! LIFE POINTE HAS THE MUSIC THAT THEY ENJOYED AND THE MESSAGE!!
THANKS FOR BEING SO GREAT!!

Sounds like you guys worked your butts off for Easter this year. I know it is (& will continue to) paying off in big ways. Thanks for making it hard for people to go to hell from Homestead and Plantation Key!!!
