Packing Out My Living Room

This Sunday, September 7th, is National Grandparent’s Day. At LifePoint Church, we will be celebrating this special day by holding a Heritage Day worship service at 10:00 a.m. at the Ruston Civic Center. During the service, there will be a slide show that gives a visual history of our families and a special sermon that implores us to leave a godly heritage for future generations. At the conclusion of the service, of course, we will all share a fine meal. This is going to be a big family event, and excitement is very high!

Speaking of excitement, the past two worship services at LifePoint have been extremely impacting! In both services the Spirit of God could be felt very strongly throughout. In such an environment, many lives were ministered to in a special way. To make the week even more special, my sister Chrysta, her husband Daniel, and their two boys Jude and Jayden were visiting from Mandeville, Louisiana. Chrysta led worship for both services and did an outstanding job. On Wednesday, Daniel was able to lend LifePoint his vocal gifts as well. There were 38 people in attendance both on Sunday and Wednesday! Below are a few pictures from the services.

God Bless,

Our children's ministry in action. They probably should have just tried their hand at painting our table.

During Wednesday night's service we actually got to hear a keyboard! Thanks Chrysta.
