Summer Schedule Coming Soon!
Starting May 15, we will be going to our summer service schedule of one service at 10:00 a.m. These services will include full children's ministry (Nursery, Preschool, and K-5)

GAP Bonfire
Let's celebrate the end of the school year in the best possible way: by burning things! We have a lot of things to burn and a lot of space in which to do it. We will be at Northstar's land on Prices Fork Road at 7:00 p.m. this Saturday, May 7 to get things started, then we'll light the fire once it's dark. If you are a senior in college and you are thinking of joining GAP next semester, please come out and join us! We would love to have you there!

#BIGsmallGroup!
Summer is quickly approaching and BIGsmallGroup is almost upon us! This is our annual change of pace where our small groups are concerned that gives everyone in our church an opportunity to come together, meet one another, and focus. This summer schedule will launch with a kickoff picnic at Nellie's Cave Park on Wednesday, June 1 at 6:00 p.m. Each Wednesday after that, we will meet at Blacksburg Christian Fellowship with nursery and full children's ministry available. So be sure to keep your Wednesday evenings open as we enter into another exciting summer in the NRV.

GIVING TO NORTHSTAR

Northstar Church is supported entirely by the generous giving of our members and regular attenders. Thank you for your faithfulness and support. 

Immeasurably More Campaign & Building Design Update
Stop by the Immeasurably More Campaign page on our website and look at the tentative interior and exterior design images!

Text to Give
We've implemented a new feature that makes it easier than ever to give for those of you who would like to participate but have left cash or checkbook at home. Simply text "Give $5" (or whatever amount you would like) to 540-427-7724 and, after a quick 1-minute set up process, you'll be ready to "text to give" with Northstar! You can designate which campus (Blacksburg or Pulaski), what fund (General, Immeasurably More, etc.), and your giving will be tracked on MyNorthstar for your own convenience and personal reporting.

Wanted: Volunteers
With a new semester of ministry under way, we are looking for a few good volunteers who are interested in meeting new people and finding ways to invest in the kingdom of God through service. There are many ways for you to get involved at Northstar and we encourage each of our members and attenders to find a place to bless others.
Get plugged in here.
