This Saturday!
Topic: Unlocking the Old Testament for the Modern Christian
Register here.
Many aspects of the Old Testament can be challenging for the Christian today. Questions like, "Why is the God of the New and Old Testaments so different?", "How should Christians interpret violence and war in the OT?", and many more like these are challenging ones that need to be addressed in our study of Scripture.
Join us this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. to learn about some of the tools that will help you unlock and uncover the wealth of the Old Testament. Some snacks will be provided! It will be led by Northstar Discipleship & College Minister Adam Wilson.
Join us at the park!
Please join us for a Picnic in the Park, next Saturday July 26, from 5-7:00 p.m. at Caboose Park, Shelter 2 (920 Turner St.). This will be a fun, casual time to hang out, eat and play games!
Hot dogs and drinks will be provided, please sign up here to bring a side or dessert to share as well as chairs or a picnic blanket. If you have a corn hole set, please let Julie know.
Volunteer today for Steppin' Out
Steppin' Out is around the corner - August 1-2! Each year, we sponsor a booth and give out Pop Ices to everyone who comes by. It's been a great way to reach out, and it's easy to serve. Sign up today to volunteer at our booth for a two-hour time slot on Friday or Saturday.
#BIGsmallGroup vids
We've got two weeks left of #BIGsmallGroup. We asked a few people to describe #BsG in one word this past week: "humbling, authentic, real, powerful, transparent, challenging." You can watch last week's gathering with Sarah Beyer and Cynthia Rancourt teaching and speaking on "Loving Deeply" by clicking above.
Coming this fall!
Beginning August 31, our church will enter a six-week sermon and small group series entitled "True Spirituality: Becoming an R12 Christian." Based off of material from Living on the Edge ministries, we'll be studying Romans 12 together on Sundays and in all our small groups! Please be in prayer for this exciting opportunity for us to grow deeper together!

Member Meeting
Our next Member Meeting is this Sunday, July 20! We're excited about hosting it in our new ministry center!
Welcome New Staff
Neal Nelson will be in Blacksburg this weekend, beginning his ministry with us as associate pastor! We're grateful for how God has moved. Please continue praying for the Nelsons: for their house in Arkansas to sell, for Teresa's pregnancy, and for smooth transitions. The rest of the family will be joining him in September, after the birth of the baby.
We're also excited to announce here for the first time that Alex Kacere will be joining the Staff Team as Youth Minister. Alex is a graduate of Liberty University, and he'll be joining us the week of July 21. Please pray for him: smooth transition, favor with our youth and their friends. (Since last week, he's found a place to live! Thanks for praying!)
