Join Us for Vision Sunday This Week!
This Sunday, September 13, we will launch our Immeasurably More series. Jeff will share the vision and challenge behind the building campaign as our Next Location Fund transitions into our Immeasurably More campaign. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and join us after both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services as we Walk the Land to pray over the site of Northstar Church's future home. This is an exciting time in the life of our church and we want to share in that excitement with you! We hope to see you there and ask that you please be in prayer as we enter this season in the life of our church.

Connect Fall Getaway Coming Soon!
The fall highlight of Northstar's college ministry is just around the corner! Our Fall Getaway 2015 will be an incredible time to get away from Blacksburg to build friendships, have a blast at an outdoor camp, and grow in your walk with Christ through teaching and small group times. You won't want to miss this awesome weekend in New Castle, Virginia. It's happening on October 16 and 17 at Wilderness Adventure Camp (about 45 minutes from Blacksburg). Space is limited, so be sure to sign up here soon! The deadline to register is October 11. We hope you'll consider joining us for this unforgettable weekend!

StewARTship
Throughout the month of September, as the adults at Northstar Church work through our Immeasurably More series, our kids will be learning about stewardship and how important it is to take care of the important things that God has trusted us with. As a part of that, the kids will be creating art pieces which help them express what stewardship means to them. On Sunday, October 4, after each service, we will celebrate StewARTship by displaying that artwork. If you also have an art or craft skill and would like to use this as a way to creatively give toward Northstar's Capital Campaign Fund, we invite you to participate!

GAP Game Night
Come join us for a fun night of friends and playing games! We will play some group games, some board games, some card games, or whatever sounds fun at the moment! Feel free to bring your own games or some snacks to share if you're able! And, of course, bring a friend or two for this awesome time of fellowship!
