Easter Reflections and Future Thoughts

The first Easter of The Point Church was simply wonderful! What a great day of rejoicing and celebration of the risen Savior! We had an amazing crowd, well beyond our anticipated attendance. Despite the rumors, there were NOT 1200 people there (you would understand if you were there, but there were a lot of people!). There were many folks that came to The Point for the first time, and all that I spoke with had a great first impression. There are so many people that made our first Easter a success...so many people worked really hard...please know that all of our work and service is greatly appreciated and is an investment in our outreach to this community. This church is truly blessed with people who are ready and willing to serve.

Our attention now turns to our moving into the new building. The Property Team, led by Dennis Raleigh, is busy planning and evaluating how this needs to happen. Our first Sunday in the building will be April 30, so there is much that needs to be done in a short amount of time. Keep in mind that we are just getting the building ready for our move. It will take weeks and months to get the building to where we want it to be for our long term use. The Property team will be sharing a schedule of work times in the next couple of days. We all will need to pitch in and have a lot of great 'fellowship' while working to get the building ready.

We are also working on the development, training and launch of Home Group Bible Studies. This has taken more time than anticipated to get these groups off the ground, but not for the lack of attention. We want to be intentional and timely in the launch of such an important and vital part of the church. Charles is doing a great job at facilitating this ministry effort.

Mother's Day is coming soon. Often, this day is as well attended as Easter, if not better attended. We want to make certain that we utilize this opportunity to reach out and show our community how much we appreciate mom's. This is another great way to get the word out about the ministry of The Point Church.

These are exciting and challenging days. God is at work to build His church, to Him be the glory!
You are loved!
