We welcome the newest addition to the NorthStar family! Emily Grace Schreiner…beautiful baby daughter of Matt & Jen!
Have you ever read our bulletin? How about the part that says NorthStar is “a church for people who have given up on church?” Did you know that 3 of the biggest reasons people give up on church are:
1. Boring, irrelevant sermons.
2. Church members are unfriendly, “cliquey”, unwelcoming to visitors.
3. Worry about the quality of a church’s childcare.
The good news is we can do something about it!
1. We can leave the burden of preaching non-boring, relevant sermons to Pastor Roscoe.
2. Be friendly to visitors! Spend the first 3 minutes after every service talking with people you’ve never seen or never met. Make a pact with your closest friends to do this so they’ll know you’re not ignoring them!
3. Support our children’s ministries through volunteering or prayer.
WE don’t want to be the reason people give up on church!
