Summer Small Groups
This summer we will be going through The Gathered AND Scattered Church together as a church-wide “small” group. Each Wednesday, we will meet in a large group session to hear a brief presentation of the previous week’s chapter. Then we will move into small, men and women discussion groups for further reflection and for prayer and sharing.
We love our summer format, because it gives everyone in our small group ministry an opportunity to come together, meet one another and be focused around one central message for a period of time. Gathered AND Scattered will also help us prepare as a church for days ahead as we seek to honor God by continuing to reach out to our communities, campuses, and even plant new gatherings and churches.
Details:
- Time: Begins Wednesday June 6th at 6:00pm, and runs weekly through August 1st
- Location: at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) building
- Childcare: will be provided at the Lancaster House
- Cost: the cost of the book is at a discounted $10. You can also buy the kindle version here
If you will not be in the NRV this summer, you can still get the book and follow us as we study together!
Summer Family Activity Book
The Village Church in Dallas, TX has created an awesome resource for parents looking to be intentional in teaching their kids about Christ this summer. The book contains activities for when families are at home, on the road, or just out in the community. Activities were created with Elementary students in mind but can be easily adapted for younger or older children.
You can find this great resource here!
Small Group Leader Cookout!
Attention all small group leaders! We will be meeting on Saturday May 19th at 11AM at the Lancaster House for a cookout and meeting! This will be a great time to fellowship together and celebrate what the Lord has being doing through Northstar small groups. We will also discuss the upcoming summer session, small group leader training and the fall schedule. Childcare and meat will be provided so bring your kids and a side/ dessert to share!
Internship opportunities with Northstar
Northstar is currently accepting applications for its intern program. The one-year program is designed to give participants exposure and insight to ministry and to help them discern their own unique calling to ministry and service – whether in future vocational ministry or marketplace ministry.
Our current interns are Abby Novak, Phil Cumbia, and Katie Surratt.
Northstar will be receiving applications for additional intern positions beginning June 1. It will also receive applications in August for the start of the fall semester. Interested individuals should download the intern packet and turn in the application to the church office at the Lancaster House (403 Washington).

New series: A Life to Celebrate
Beginning Sunday, April 15, our Sunday sermon series will be focusing on eight principles for wholeness and holiness called “A Life to Celebrate.” Taken from the Celebrate Recovery ministry curriculum, these biblical truths help align our lives around a love relationship with Jesus Christ and provide us with a strong foundation for ministry, relationships and missional living.
We hope you’ll be present from April 15 to June 3 for this deeply challenging perspective on godly living and surrender.
Senioritis Seminar
For all graduating collegians, Northstar offers the Senioritis Seminar: Being the Church Beyond College on Sundays, April 22 and 29. Lunch will be provided, as well as a copy of In But Not Of. Graduating seniors will hear from members of Northstar’s staff about creating a personal ministry vision for their lives, implementing spiritual disciplines beyond college and how to be the church in a new context.
Please RSVP at this link so that there will be enough lunch for those attending.
Palm Sunday this week, April 1
Palm Sunday is a special annual celebration of the week that Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem 2000 + years ago. During that tumultuous week, He healed, taught about the love of His Father and urged everyone who listened to surrender their hearts in faith. At the end of that week, He would be betrayed and then crucified. Three days later, He rose from the dead, having defeated sin and death. He now offers all peoples forgiveness, purpose and salvation.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for a special day of celebration at a new location – the conference center at the CRC (2280 Kraft Drive, click for map). There will be three services – 9:00 & 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Please spread the word, invite a neighbor, friend, coworker or acquaintance! You won’t want to miss these special services of worship, encouragement, and inspiration.
For families, please note that full children’s ministries are offered only at the 9:00 a.m. service. The 11:00 a.m. offers a nursery. We love kids, and we are certain that your kids will love their Sunday experience at Northstar!
