The strength of United Methodist connectionalism and radical hospitality continues to give witness to a risen Christ. Today, NorthPoint UMC hosted leaders of United Methodist Women from several churches from throughout northwest Louisiana as they conducted a planning session. Friday evening we opened our doors as a place to get some rest to a mission team from Sapulpa UMC in Oklahoma who were turning from a trip to UMCOR and Sager Brown. On Tuesday, Donna and I connected with a mission team from Denham Springs UMC to help with recovery efforts caused by the recent tornado in Ruston. All the while, behind the scenes at NorthPoint, there were people making certain our guests were welcomed with radical hospitality and shown the love and grace of a risen Christ. Together we are stronger!

The risen Christ was alive at NorthPoint Easter worship services today!!!!

Palm/Passion Sunday worship services on the NorthPoint/Gilliam UMC charge included the procession and waving of the palm branches, the exchange of prayer crosses created from palm leafs by women at the Gilliam church, and the blessing of food items collected by church members and sent out to the Helping Hands mission in Shreveport. The final picture in the slide show is the image of "palm sticks" created by the children at Gilliam UMC. The "palm sticks" are a tradition each year at the Gilliam church. The children create the sticks by placing a new paper cutout of an outline of their palms on the sticks each year on Palm Sunday. Gilliam UMC member Elizabeth Dominick has been responsible for keeping the tradition going.

NorthPoint UMC members of all ages celebrated with Christian joy today in a variety of different ways. The United Methodist Women's group had an outing to Norton Art Gallery in Shreveport after worship and blew some prayer bubbles along the way. Lay Leader Chip Reeves delivered another great children's message and Holy Communion was celebrated during worship. The NPUMC tweens also learned about all the "ingredients" that go into making the church the Body of Christ. Check out children videos in the comments!
