Unexpected Accident

Why is it the biggest surprises seem to come when things seem to be going so well? Thursday morning I went to the new building to help tear down the stage from Dreamcast and see how the work was going to get electricity and lights restored. My phone rang as soon as I walked through the door. It was our electrical contractor with the news that Kyle was electricuted that morning. I met Kyle the day before and found out that he was in his 20s and goes to church at Crossgate. He was a good guy and I was surprised to hear he was now in the hospital. My step dad works for an electric utility in Oklahoma and he's told some stories of guys getting electfical burns. Its grusome and I feared the worst.


I left for the hospital and went into the emergency room at St. Josephs. Kyle's eyes met mine as I walked into the room. To my surprise he was sitting up and welcomed me in, "Hey scott." It clearly wasn't as bad as I feared. Kyle began telling me about the accident and lifted his thumb and index finger in the air with about an inch between them, "we were this close to getting the lights back on." I laughed and assured him that that was the least of my concern.


Kyle was taken to a burn unit in Little Rock and was released a day later. The doctors said there would not be any permanant scaring. Praise God! God saw Kyle through a potentially deadly situation. The accident was also a reminder about potential dangers. You can never be too careful and we have to remind ourselves to take adequate precausions and we can never be too careful working in the new building.

DREAMCAST II

It's this Friday and it's going to be a blast! This is a chance to see the "big picture" and what God is doing/revealing for His ministry of LakePointe! We will celebrate what God has done and take a look at where He is leading us as a church. For me one of the more exciting pieces is the virtual tour that our architects have put together for us. This will be our first "sneak peak" at what will be our hub for ministry! Did I mention that we are also going to feed everyone? We have dinner covered with pizza from Molly Obrien's and Pizza Hut. Child care is also available. Little Lambs preschool located at 105 Village Road will host our drop off childcare. You can drop the kiddos off at 5:30pm(we will have pizza for them too!) and then head over to the
DreamCast located at Airport Road and Albert Pike Road(next to the old Hobby Lobby).

Again this is going to be a fun event as we look back and see where God has brought us and then look forward into the future of where God is leading us! See you there!

Pre-Renovation Pictures

Welcome to the first published pictures of the new location. The new building is located at 1343 Albert Pike Road. That's on the corner of Airport Road and Albert Pike. Many people familiar with Hot Springs know this intersection as the 2nd most busiest intersections in Arkansas. You can stand in the parking lot and get excited by watching all the traffic go by. There's no better place for LakePointe right now than in the heart of the city.

Notice the old Sav-u-More grocery store colors on the exterior, bright yellow and red - Yuk! The interior picture was taken after the building owner had all old tile removed. Three layers were taken out to expose the concrete floors. Some of the concrete will be stained and left exposed to go with the whole industrial feel of the new design.
