• You have got to visit www.discoverpointchurch.com TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO GO HERE!
• Brian Mathews joined the band this week and added an acoustic flavor to our sound on the congas. Great Job and thanks.
• We had a laid back feel this week, which is almost opposite of our normal strong exciting sound.
  
• I personally love more quiet and intimate moments but I am over 30 now...so I am getting too old to jam all the time.
• Philip was out of town up at Liberty.
  
• He serves on a board that plants hundreds of churches every year.

What I think about you.....

Here is a what I think about you moment.... There are people in your life that help you along and make you a better person...and Brien Duke is one of those people in my life. Here's what got me thinking about him this week......

I was watching some old videos with Lisa yesterday and we stumbled upon alot of Ethan which is understandable because he is to cute not to video. We also found some older worship times at Discover Point. This was back when we were at the movie theater and you think it's loud now at Parker Road, well we used to turn it all up at the movie theater and gave no thought to hearing loss if you know what I mean. I noticed that Brien had gained a little over the years which makes me happy for obvious reasons. And i thought about how thankful I am have Brien as a lead worshipper at DPC. God has given and moved us over the years and I am thankful for each person that has given into our church through worship or production but Brien is a very special person in my life. It's amazing to look back and see how much God has used Brien at our church. He is a gifted worship leader and has been an answered prayer in my life from the beginning of our friendship.
I am adding a picture of Brien and me. He is a great guy and make sure to tell him on Sunday that he is awesome!!!

Play Groups

This Summer we are organizing play groups at DPC. These groups will help to let people in our church get to know each other a little bit better.

Here are the groups so far....but we are adding more groups until June....let me know if you want to lead one or be involved in one.

Poker Group: Leader Lisa Collinsworth ---1 time a month....

Golf Group: Leader Philip Lehman ----? times a month

Web guide Group: Leader Brad----? Times a month

Italian Ice Group: Leaders Erin and Kathy---? times a month

Open Mic: Leaders Greg and David---- 2 times a month

Register by filling out a card on Sunday Morning at church. Also email would work. pastordavid@discoverpoint.org

Worship + One

Worship + One is a concept that we encourage all members of Discover Point Church to apply.
We decided along time ago to do a few things well and Sunday Morning is our main outreach.

WORSHIP ---- We have put alot of time, energy, and money into our Sunday Morning Environment. We want everyone in Rockdale/Newton Counties to come!!!! We try to be creative, innovative, topical, relevant, biblical, and exciting in our series content. We spend alot of money and time to make it happen through material for Discover Kids, Nursery equipment, Java point coffee bar stuff, lighting, technology, audio/visual, and THE BUILDING ITSELF IS STICKIN' EXPENSIVE.... We do this well. Our Sunday Morning Environment rocks!!!!! The volunteers that make it happen all rock!!!!! God is doing something on Sunday Mornings on Parker Road!!! No doubt about that.
We want to create a place that unchurched people can't wait to come to...and Sunday Moring is it.

+ ONE ---- We also don't want our members to be at church all the time. Pick one other thing to get involved with at Discover Point Church. After + one.... go and coach your kids little league, or get involved in a local book club....help out in the community....now....while you are in the community let people know either through actions or words (hopefully both) that you are a Christ-follower and that you LOVE Discover Point Church...


Our idea is attend church, serve somewhere and get involved in the community. We can do more good for God being involved than keeping to ourselves inside a little church country club!!@!!!

• Assimilation; the state of being assimilated; people of different backgrounds come to see themselves as part of a larger community.

It's important to get involved and become part of a larger community. We all want that. To know that we are needed and important. As Discover Point Church grows we are going to be opening up alot of different ways to get involved.
Like during the summer we are starting Play Groups; this is a neat concept. You get together with a group of people around a fun activity and hang out.
As a church we have many ways for new attenders to get involved and that's the way it should be. it takes alot of people to make a difference in a community.

My brain is full of ideas that will help connect people with our church and Jesus.
Later.

• sorry for the all caps above this sentence will balanced it out.
• There is still so much to figure out but our church has an opportunity to make an impact for Jesus.
  
• Philip shared our DNA today....no one cares about what you look like. The reason Discover Point church does what it does is to connect people to God and to other followers.
• Wear your jeans or wear your suit...I don't care, but I pray and hope you have experience the Love of God through Jesus Christ.
