Good Friday Service
Friday, April 3 • 7 PM
Tetelestai, it is finished.
Join us as we acknowledge the ultimate sacrifice Jesus gave on the cross, and reflect on the profoundness of it all as we take part in Holy communion together as a church family.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19:30
Easter Sunday Service

We look forward to celebrating Christ's victory over the grave with you and your families!
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luke 24:2-3
Family Fun Night

DON'T MISS OUT! We can’t wait to see you there!
Youth Group
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
6:30 PM – 8 PM
Our Youth meet once a month (on the 3rd Wednesday of each month) at our church facility. We welcome all of our youth and their friends who are in grades 6th–12th to deepen their relationships and understanding of God with Pastor Terence and Kenis Christie.
There will be games, fellowship, food, and some really good conversation that will be encouraging, meaningful, and relevant to their young lives.
Next meeting is Wednesday, April 15th from 6:30 PM to 8 PM. Don't miss out!
Volunteer Opportunities - A Praise Report!
Church family, we are so richly blessed by those who have recently stepped into roles of serving—both within our congregation and for those who visit. Following Pastor Terence's Spiritual Gifts series last fall, many shared how meaningful and enlightening it was, especially the survey that helped identify where they could best serve. It's been wonderful to see so many of you take that next step and get involved! — Thank You!
Our heart is to see everyone connected and serving in a way that feels both life—giving and Spirit—led. Simply put, we could not function without each and every one of our volunteers.
If you're ready to jump in but aren't sure where to start, we'd love to help. Please reach out to Pastor Terence or any of the Elders—they would be glad to come alongside you and help you find a place to serve.
Serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13
Prayer Requests & Praise Reports
We would love the opportunity to pray for you and with you. If you have a prayer request, praise report, or a need—please let us know so we can personally and faithfully be praying for you.
As we look ahead, we invite each of you to continue walking with us in prayer. Please join us throughout the month in praying for NorthStar’s next steps—for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we seek God’s direction and grow together in faith and mission.
Book of the Month
Every month Pastor Terence will recommend a book of suggested reading for that month.
This month's recommendation is:
The Unseen Realm
by Dr. Michael Heiser
Fun Fact
In Numbers 22:28, Balaam's donkey suddenly starts talking to him after he keeps hitting it. Imagine being corrected... by your own animal! Even more surprising—Balaam just keeps the conversation going.
See why, and check out the whole story!
