Summer of Service

Phew - ok - got a sec - so I'm gonna share some pix and quick details of what God has going ON in Findlay!!

LifePoint Gardens - There's this guy... Jon - who God brought to LP - Let me just say, he goes AFTER IT for God!

This is his 2nd year doing a Community Garden with some students from a local middle school and this year LP is joining him.

They weed, plant, water and take care of some crops and when they're ready... they are donated to people that need it and/or are sold at the Farmer's Market and the proceeds to go charity.
Thanks to Lawrence Farms for donating a half acre for this project!!
Jon was nice and bought everyone some fresh strawberries!! THANKS JON!
Check out more pix of LP Gardens HERE.

Invigorate Mission Team: This amazing group of college peeps from across the US stopped in Findlay last Monday to hang out and reach out. We joined them at Riverside Park to pass out FREE Dietsch's Ice Cream Cones, share a SMILE and invite them to LP. It was a GOOD TIME!! Pray for them, they're in a different city every day partnering with colleges and churches to see where God is working and JOIN HIM! YOU GUYS ROCK. For more pix of the INVIGORATE TEAM - CLICK HERE.

Carwash and a CONE! This was LP's 2nd year doing this event - just a way to LOVE on our community. This year we extended it to TWO LOCATIONS! People could come and get a FREE car wash (NO DONATIONS ACCEPTED) and on top of that each car got a coupon for a FREE one-dip cone to Dietsch's (world's best ice cream and CHOCOLATE!). I'll be honest, we didn't have as many cars as last year, but it was still a raging success - and we got show our community that we care - and don't want anything in return...

More pix from CARWASH AND A CONE! Next year - we may move it back to Sunday :-).

Concert in the PARK! We were invited by some sweet PEEPS to pass out ice cream at a Christian Concert that was held at Riverside Park on Saturday afternoon. Of course, we took them up on it!! We got rained on, but people enjoyed some (MORE) Dietsch's Ice Cream... and hopefully felt some Jesus LOVE!




Well, there you have it - last week in a nutshell... More to come... gotta run!! PEACE!

Today ended the INKED series at LP! Inked - Going BEYOND the surface.

Wanted to share some pix from today's BIKER RALLY at LifePoint. Several bikers showed up along with LP peeps - for a fabulous morning including a testimony from "Tatoo", awesome service with someone giving their LIFE TO CHRIST, followed by the BIKE BLESSING and then a Hogroast. What a FABULOUS DAY!

"Inked" Starting this Sunday

Starting this Sunday you don't want to miss our new sermon series; Inked "Going Beyond The Surface". We are going to go deep into pressure points of our life one week at a time. You don't want to miss this series as it will change your life. Also during the next few weeks we will be showing and talking about tattoo testimonies, everyone has a story. On May 17th we will end this series with a Hogroast and Biker Rally. We are teaming with Heaven's Saints to make this an outstanding event. So if you have a bike, bring it out May 17th and we will pray for you and your bike as you head into the riding season. It's going to be a great series, you should bring a friend. Also if you have a tat and you want to tell us about it, you can message me here or email me at pastorkevin@lifepointfindlay.com we would love to hear it!!!
See you Sunday.

Invasion of The Peeps

Wow what a weekend. The Peep Drop was amazing. I still can't get them out of my head, I had a dream the other night "Invasion of the Peeps". They just kept falling from the sky one after another. LOL We had around 2000 people attend the event, with 5 kids giving their life to Jesus. It was a really cold morning, but the key was, there was no rain! Received a lot of great compliments, with the biggest question being are we going to do this again next year. My answer to that is yes! Next year will be bigger and better, so mark your calendars for April 3rd 2010. Check out the video of the Peep Drop!



Easter Sunday was great! We had an all time high in attendance, with 3 people giving their life to Christ. That would be 8 for the weekend! God is Good! The worship set was awesome, the energy in the building was electrifying, and the people were excited to be there. We had someone tell us, "wow that was different, I loved it"! I mean how many churches can you go to and see the drummer light his cymbals on fire, not once but twice. Fog machines spitting out fog, and light moving to the beat of the music. While we worship the risen King! He is alive! It was a great ending to a great weekend.
I want to say thanks to all the people that volunteered over the weekend, you're the best ever and second to none. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to do it all over again:0)
