Family Fun Night - Outdoor Edition

Friday, August 7 from 7-9 PM

Ready... Set... PLAY!

Grab the whole family and join us for an evening of outdoor games, friendly competition, laughter, and great fellowship! Our very own MVPs ("Most Valuable Pastors"), Terence and Kenis, are opening up their backyard for a night of fun and connection.

Bring your favorite snack or drink to share, and if you have one, bring an outdoor game to add to the excitement. Whether you're a fierce competitor or just in it for the laughs, there's something for everyone!

Think of it as the perfect warm-up before our Annual Church Picnic the following weekend. We can't wait to laugh, play, and make memories together!

Come ready to play—we'll see you there!

Baptism Celebration

Sunday, August 23 @ 10 AM

Join us as we celebrate a beautiful step of faith! We are thrilled to witness and support individuals who have chosen to publicly declare their faith in Jesus Christ through baptism.

What a powerful moment—not only in their lives, but in the lives of their families and our church family as well. We invite you to stay after the service on Sunday, August 23rd to celebrate with them, encourage them, and rejoice together. As Scripture reminds us, "there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10).

Come celebrate what God is doing—we can't wait to share this special occasion with you!

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.

* Please continue to be in prayer for NorthStar throughout the month, specifically for next steps—for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we seek God’s direction and grow together in faith and mission.
