Independence Day
July 4
A faith and freedom reminder: The first words of the Declaration of Independence appeal not only to political ideas, but to a Creator: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."
Many early American Leaders saw human dignity and freedom as gifts rooted in God's design. As we celebrate 250 years, we can give thanks for the blessings of liberty while praying for wisdom, humility, and unity in the years ahead.
Family Service Month
With travel and activities at a peak for the summer, our Rising Stars ministry will be taking a break from their normal gathering routine and will instead be participating in our main service.
Regular services for our Rising Stars will resume August 2nd.
Twinsburg Community Service Opportunity
Saturday, July 11
10 AM - 12 PM
We invite our church family to join us in serving the Twinsburg community! The Twinsburg Parks and Recreation Commission is hosting a Center Valley Trail Clean-Up Day on Saturday, July 11, from 10 AM to 12 PM. Meet at the East Idlewood Shelter (9797 E. Idlewood Drive).
No experience or special equipment is required—just come dressed for the weather (which means you can wear your NorthStar Church t-shirt) and ready to help. Please bring water, work gloves, and a snack if you'd like.
This is a wonderful opportunity to care for a local community resource while building relationships and making meaningful connections with our neighbors. We hope you'll join us as we serve together with joyful hearts!
Outdoor Church Service & Picnic
Sunday, August 16 @ 10 AM
One of our favorite annual events is almost here! Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 16 at 10 AM.
We'll gather for worship and a message from Pastor Terence, followed by an afternoon of fellowship, delicious food, some friendly competition, and tons fun together. Be sure to bring a dish to share!
We look forward to spending the day together!
