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!!!

  3. 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!!!
