<p>Every year, Easter at LifePoint is a weekend of excitement, new faces,  old faces and most of all an opportunity to help connect people to the  amazing love and grace of Jesus. This year will be no different as we  anticipate thousands to attend our seven services at two locations.</p>
<p>With the  huge increase in attendance, we have more opportunity than ever to  create a welcoming and compelling environment by having an  army of friendly faces across LifePoint. You can be one of those  friendly faces who will create a place of grace for people to connect with  Jesus this weekend.</p>
<p>If you would like to serve one or multiple services  this weekend, please complete the form below. Be sure to choose the  area of ministry where you would like to serve and the service(s) where  you can help.</p>

<p>With the launch of the new <a href="http://www.lifepointchurch.org" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.lifepointchurch.org?referer=');">LifePoint Church website</a>, we released a new page called <strong><a title="Guided Tour" href="http://lifepointchurch.org/tour" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/lifepointchurch.org/tour?referer=');">Guided Tour</a></strong>. This new page is designed to make it easy for guests to have a great first experience at LifePoint. The page includes tips for navigating a pleasant Sunday morning experience and offers a guided tour for guests.</p>
<p>This past Sunday was the first guided tour our Guest Services team has given. And it was a success! Here’s an email sent to one of our staff from the first time attender.</p>
<blockquote><p>…TJ was a great host/tour guide. The Church was everything we expected and more. The kids had a great time and knew some of their teachers and other children in their class. Which was a plus, they were kind of hesitant when I told them we wanted to try another Church.</p>
<p>We plan on coming back…</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>
<p>Lisa</p></blockquote>
<p>We could not do this without a great first impressions team, who are willing to serve and be a smiling face to guests.</p>
<p>Hopefully this continues to be another tool that breaks down some of the barriers people have when attending church, and allows LifePointer’s to feel comfortable to invite their unchurched friends to use the guided tour.</p>
