Crossroads Kids' Club

A New Partnership & Volunteer Opportunity!

If you missed the announcement on Sunday, Katie White, our Rising Stars Kids Ministry Director, is partnering with Crossroads Kids' Club! This incredible national ministry helps churches launch and support faith-based character-formation clubs in local public schools.

With eight clubs launching across Ohio this fall, Katie and leaders from Destiny Church are ready to bring the Word of God to children in our community. The club will meet on Fridays after school at the Pinewood Garden Apartment Community Center in Twinsburg.

How You Can Support This Ministry:

1. Donate Snacks (Our Biggest Tangible Need!) 🍿

What's a kids' club without snacks? Let's bless these hungry kiddos with nourishment while their leaders feed them the Word of God! Please drop individual, pre-packaged donations in the bin located in the Kids Ministry lobby.

Safety Guidelines: Strictly no nuts or nut butters, and no artificial food coloring.

Suggested Favorites: Belvita biscuits, healthy popcorn, Veggie Straws, Popcorners, fresh mandarins/oranges, animal crackers, Goldfish, granola bars, small water bottles, and no-sugar-added juice boxes.

Special Occasions: Want to provide a special occasion treat? Contact Katie to coordinate!

2. Give Financially ✉️

Monetary donations are warmly welcomed. You can drop cash or checks into the sanctuary Giving Box—please mark the envelope "Crossroads/Snacks."

3. Pray Constantly 🙏

Please cover this new ministry, the volunteer leaders, and the children they will reach in your daily prayers.

Annual Prayer Walk

Saturday, September 26 @ 10 AM

Lets lace up our sneakers and hit the streets with intention, intervention, and a heart for the city in which we have been planted.

This year we will meet in the Twinsburg Square at 10 AM. We'll break off in small groups around town to pray for our neighbors, municipal workers, first responders, schools, etc.

Small Groups

Life Groups will be launching in October. If you have a desire or are curious about hosting or leading a group, please reach out to Pastor Terence or an Elder for more information. These groups are intentional, relational, growth-minded, and powerful. Not to mention—a fun way to get to know those we church with on Sundays a little better. Remember, God doesn't always call the equipped, but will always equip the called.

We currently have a Mens Group lined up that will meet every other Thursday at 7 PM starting October 22nd. They will be studying the book of Genesis.

Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

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.

Book of the Month

Every month Pastor Terence will recommend a book of suggested reading for that month.

This month's recommendation is:
