Help with Northstar’s carpool ministry

If you haven’t heard, this semester Northstar is having a carpool service for students on campus from the Lancaster House for both the 9:00 am service and the 11:00 am service to Blacksburg High School. This is super exciting because more students who would not otherwise be coming to church at Northstar are now able to get a ride. It truly has been an awesome ministry so far, and each week more students show up needing a ride.

We desperately need people to volunteer to drive! I can’t drive everyone in one load in my car, which is so cool that it’s even a problem! But at this point, I am having to go to both services and sometimes taking two trips… as you can imagine, it’s just not the most convenient thing to have to do this.

Reasons to help:

• It’s an awesome way to meet new students and get them connected to Northstar
• It’s only like 15 minutes earlier than you would be going anyways
• It will help YOU get more involved with Northstar too
• You can invite them to lunch afterwards and get to know them more!

I am going to try to figure out a driver schedule, so you can just volunteer once a month, or more if you can. We need 2 drivers for 9:00 am and maybe 3 for 11:00 am. If there’s a specific Sunday in October or November that you would like to help, let me know that too.

What you would need to do:

• Notify me (email below), and I’ll assign you a Sunday.
• For the 9:00 am service, meet at Lancaster at 8:40ish
• For the 11:00 am service: meet there at 10:40ish
• and don’t forget they’ll need a ride back to campus too!

We invite you to join in on what God is doing in Blacksburg and at Virginia Tech Please reply with what service, what Sunday and how many Sundays you would like to help, how many empty seats you have free, and your cell number! Also, let me know if you can think of others that would be interested in driving, and pass the word along to students who might need a ride to church!
