Northstar Church: June, 2011
Community Picnic
Get ready for an awesome afternoon in the park! July 31st after church we will head over to the Hand in Hand Park in Blacksburg to enjoy a picnic and some great fellowship. Invite a neighbor, a friend and some family! This is a great event to get to know some of the people in Northstar and the community better!
Pointing Fingers
Dave Farris teaches out of Luke 13 about how it is our nature to try and point out the sin in others lives, to try and diminish the look of ours.

Swim party!
On Sunday June 26th, Northstar will host its 2nd annual Shawnee Pool Night! This was a big hit last year and lots of fun for everyone. We will gather to swim, splash and play some pool games. Bring floaties and a poolside snack from 7:00-9:00pm. This will be a great way to invite a friend to get to know our Northstar family!
Are You Ready?
In a penetrating passage conversation, Jesus urges those who would be followers of Him to demonstrate their authenticity by living lives of service and love – even in His absence. Will we be ready when He returns?

FaithGirlz mission trip, June 26-July 1
Some of of our younger Northstar girls will be leaving next weekend for the Pre-teen Week of Hope mission trip. They will be traveling to Charleston, SC for a week of mission work.
Charleston is historically a beautiful city, but there are still many people that are struggling to get by from hurricane damage and on limited resources. Campers will be directly involved in helping the elderly at their homes, children’s camps and nonprofit organizations that are focused on creating opportunities for lives to be improved.
FaithGirlz is currently led by Wendy Kendall and is for girls in the 5th-6th grades. They meet on Monday nights. Contact Wendy at wendyk413@yahoo.com for more information.
Northstar co-sponsors family friendly movies this summer
If you’re at Regal Movie Theater in Christiansburg this summer, you’ll notice that Northstar has a promotional table there with our information about our church in the lobby. We are a sponsor of the “Summer Movie Express” which is a family-friendly movie program on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. each week through August 10. The movies are only $1 during the summer, and the informational poster is included below.
It’s our pleasure to be a co-sponsor, and we hope that our message of “Be the church” will be seen by many and will be used by the Lord to bring new families and faces to our fellowship and to faith in the next few months!
An Antidote for Greed
Of all the sins described in the Bible, perhaps the sin of greed is the one least confessed and acknowledged by Christians. Why is that? In this message, we confront our attitudes toward our possessions in Luke 12:21-34.

- Follow them on their blog.
- Pray daily for them and the other churches from the lower 48 that they will be working with.

From Hypocrisy to Generosity
In this study of Luke 12.1-21, Jesus has strong words for hypocrites, the fearful, worriers and the materialistic. How we apply His words can free us from all these things and lead us to a lifestyle of joyful generosity.
