Book, Blog, & Easter services

Wow, what a winter – we’ve had the snowiest February ever seen in several Ohio cities! March is here and spring is around the corner! With the new month comes our First Wednesday service at 7 p.m. at the Dover Campus. Dave D’Angelo will be sharing an epic story. It is going to be a great night of worship, communion, and teaching! You won’t want to miss it.

As we continue in our series The ME I Want to Be, I want to encourage you pick up the book that is entitled the same by John Ortberg in our church bookstore. It is a good read and will help you process and develop in becoming God’s best version of you. Also, our website www.newpointe.org has our 40-day blog where each day you can read a Bible verse, a thought, and a prayer as you seek to become who you want to be.

It is hard to believe, but Easter is just a month away on April 4. Here are our service times:

Dover Campus

• Saturday night @ 7 p.m. - ReignForest & Velocity are open (birth to grade 4); no MSM or HSM
• Sunday sunrise service @ 7:30 a.m. - no children or student environments
• Sunday @ 9 a.m. & 11 a.m. - ReignForest & Velocity are open (birth to grade 4); no KidStuf, MSM, or HSM

Louisville & Millersburg Campuses

• Sunday @ 10:30 a.m. - ReignForest & Velocity are open (birth to grade 4); no MSM

Easter is the time when most people are open to an invitation to church. Here is how we can be strategic as we reach out to a hurting and broken world:

First – list 3 people for whom you will pray for consistently over the next 30 days for a minimum of 3 minutes a day; ask God to speak to them and prepare their hearts.

Second – be very intentional in strengthening and building your relationship with them; personally invest in them by showing them acts of kindness.

Third – give the invite. Let them know that we are having a Saturday night Easter service, as well as services on Sunday. Tell them that you will pick them up or meet them by the café. Let them know that NewPointe is laid back and is a safe place.

Fourth – if NewPointe is your home church and you are not bringing guests with you on Easter, would you please strongly consider attending the Saturday night service or the sunrise service? We are expecting a huge crowd at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and we want to be able to accommodate everyone; I really do appreciate your willingness in this.

In the weeks that follow, I know we will have stories to share of life-change from our Easter services!
