 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.
 We're Looking for a Few Good Volunteers
The fall semester will be here before you know it! With a new semester comes new opportunities to serve and we are looking for folks who are interested in meeting new people and want to invest in the kingdom of God through service. We want to encourage you to get involved in an area where you can use your talents to bless others, whether that be with children's ministry, youth, college students, or creative arts. One of our primary needs in the coming months will be with our Sunday Serve Team, which helps prepare Blacksburg Middle School for worship each week.
Get plugged in here.
 ReVerb Summer Nights
ReVerb is continuing Summer Nights for our youth and their friends. Summer Nights is a time to hang out with friends, eat good food, have fun, and grow in community together. We will also have a time of devotion and prayer. Join us for our last Summer Night on Sunday, August 14 at the home of the Pensons at 6:00 p.m.

 Noodles for Newborns
Noodles for Newborns is a way for us as a church to show Christ’s love to the New River Valley. Every family leaving The Birth Place at Montgomery Regional Hospital will get a bag with a box of noddles, sauce and a box of brownies. The bag will also have all of Northstar’s information. This is a simple yet effective way for us to Be the Church. All of the items inside the bag will be coming from donations made by us. Every month the bags will be delivered to the hospital and given to families leaving. About 40 babies a month are born at this hospital, giving us the opportunity to make an impact in the lives of 40 families. Please be in prayer about ways in which you can serve this ministry, from purchasing items to packing bags, or even donating money to be used to buy items for the bags.
