Hi everyone – our summer community ministry continues: go to http://www.northstarchurch.org/nsdcommunity to sign up for any of the opportunities below:
BIG GIVE SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM EACH SUNDAY 6/5-7/31
NO SUMMER LUNCH THIS SUNDAY!
We will not be doing lunches this Sunday. Another church has offered to take the whole week as their summer project so we get a week off. If you had planned on bringing in either brownies (no home made this week), chips, or drinks we can still use them to get a head start on next week. But we will not be needing any sandwiches this week.
I am still in need of:
10 volunteer each week to bring in 20 DECORATED lunch bags
5 volunteers to drive one day a week to deliver the lunches. It only takes about 1 hour from start to finish and seeing the looks on those kids faces is priceless
We are also still in need of books for the older kids to give away on Fridays. Also bibles, especially kid and student bibles. The kids go for any bibles we have before anything else. Last week I actually had 2 kids arguing over the last bible we had and although I don’t condone fighting I couldn’t help but love what they were fighting over. In the end they agreed to not argue any more about who gets it and decided they would share it together. AWESOME!!!
HELPING HANDS CAN SORTING 6/25
We need 5 volunteers to help sort cans for Helping Hands food pantry. We will be meeting at 240 Professional court, Dallas at 10:00 am. Please let me know if you have a couple of hours to spare that morning and can help us out.
ENGAGE ATLANTA GOLF TOURNAMENT 6/24
This is to raise money for the upcoming Community Makeover Weekend that we will be participating in. If you are interested in putting together a team let me know and I will send you the info. OR you can join Brads NSD team. If you would like to join his team shoot him an e-mail and he will get you set up. The tournament will be held at Creekside Country Club in Hiram.
LEAP ADULT LEADER 6/27-30
Our middle and high school pastor Clay Davis is planning an amazing summer for our NSD students and would love for you to get involved. The first event that he needs help with is LEAP. This is an AWESOME mini ministry day camp for the older students. The kids go out and do daily service and community projects during the week while also having a lot of fun and learning how to live more like Jesus did. If you are interested in helping Clay out and being a leader that week please let one of us know and we will give you more info. He is also planning 3-4 other events during the summer and is looking for volunteers to help with those as well so if you want to help but can’t make it LEAP week still let us know we will make sure you have any opportunity to serve with the student ministry.
FIRST ANNUAL BURNT HICKORY BASEBALL ASSOCIATION GOLF TOURNAMENT 7/13

COMMUNITY MAKEOVER WEEKEND 7/21-24
This is going to be an exciting weekend! We will be working all weekend with lots of other churches in the area doing many different projects around the community. Ending Sunday night with a HUGE county wide worship service! You will not want to miss this weekend!! So be sure to SAVE THE DATE!
NORTHSTAR DALLAS AND HELPING HANDS CLOTHES CLOSET
Many of you have asked me where you can donate your used clothing in Paulding since there really isn’t a place that provides clothes for the needy in the area. Starting in the fall NorthStar Dallas and Helping Hands are partnering up to provide a monthly clothes closet for people in need in Paulding County. All the recipients will be prescreened and most will already be clients of Helping Hands so you can be assured that your clothes are going to people who really need them. So find some time to clean out those closets because starting this Sunday we will be taking donations of gently used clothes, belts, purses, shoes, etc. in all sizes from baby to adult.
NSD COMMUNITY WEB SITE
Don’t forget you can always check out what NorthStar Dallas is doing in the community by going to www.northstarchurch.org/nsdcommunity <http://www.northstarchurch.org/nsdcommunity> . Now there is even a link where you can sign up to volunteer for different things that we have going on. And as always you can e-mail me at nsdcommunity@northstarchurch.org.
We hope ya’ll have a great week! See you Sunday!

NSD Community Update!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU To everyone who hammered a nail, fed hungry school kids, went barefoot, served hungry workers and helped tornado victims this weekend!! This was by far the biggest community outreach and service weekend yet. It was awesome to see NorthStar Dallas come together in so many ways to help so many people! I am so proud to be part of a church with such a huge heart and giving spirit!!!
Don’t worry we’re not done yet! We still have many opportunities to serve and have fun this summer J
BIG GIVE SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM EACH SUNDAY 6/5-7/31
This past Sunday was our first Summer Lunch Sunday and it went great! We got all 200 lunches made in about 45 min before service even started. We are running low on items this week so we won’t be able to put them together before service but if you can stay 30-45 min after church to help put the lunches together we would love to have you.
To fill our 200 lunches this week we still need:
5 volunteers-20 PB & J Sandwiches (PB & J mixed together and bagged separately in sandwich bags)
5 volunteers-20 individually wrapped brownies (no nuts)
5 volunteers-20 snack pack chips
5 volunteers-20 juice boxes
10 volunteer-20 DECORATED lunch bags
5 volunteers to drive one day a week to deliver the lunches. It only takes about 1 hour from start to finish and seeing the looks on those kids faces is priceless
We are in serious need of gently used or new books for teens. We give all the kids a book on Fridays and although we have plenty of books for the smaller children, the older kids are not getting any books because there are so few in their age range. Over half of the summer lunch kids are teenagers
“AN EVENING WITH ELVIS” 6/11
This is Shepherds Rest Ministries biggest fundraiser of the year. This year they are having “An evening with Elvis” featuring Jeffrey Cole with Rev. Johnny Turner and the Steadfast Quartet. The auction and food portion will be from 5:00-6:30 followed by the concert at 7:00 at the Dallas Theater, tickets are $20. This sounds like a great evening out and I think it would be fun if a bunch of us got together and went as a NSD group. If you are interested in joining us let me know so that I can make sure we get enough tickets.

NSD UPDATE 6.1.11
Hey everybody,
I hope you all had a great Memorial Day! We have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks! If you have any questions about anything below please let me know.
New Series begins this Sunday AT 10 AM: GREATER THAN
This June series will follow Jesus through 4 encounters in the book of Mark. In each, He proves Himself to be GREATER THAN storms, evil, sickness, and death. This will be a great series to invite a firend – especially someone who has been going through some “storms” lately!
This Sunday will be kicked off “live”, as I will have the honor to share with you about trusting in the face of storms.
Lots of Community Stuff coming up:
Please contact Crystal at NSDCommunity@northstarchurch.org for further info on any of these items:
6/4 Habitat for Humanity
This Saturday is our day to volunteer at the first Paulding County Habitat Build. Although we have as many volunteer builders as we need, NorthStar is in charge of providing and serving lunch so if you would still like to participate I need a couple of volunteers to help me set up and serve lunch from 11:00-1:00. This will be a fun day and of course free BBQ! YUM!
6/5 Barefoot Sunday
Don’t forget that we are all leaving Sunday BAREFOOT! Wear the shoes you would like to donate to Soles 4 Souls and on your way out after service bare those footsies and drop your shoes in the bin. Just remember to bring some flip flops or at least socks to cross the hot parking lot. We don’t want anyone trading in their shoes for bandages.
6/5 Summer Lunch Program Starts
Its finally here! NSD’s first day of summer lunch! We are still in need of a few items so if you have not signed up to bring something in on Sunday and would still like to please let me know.
-3 Volunteers to bring in 20 individually wrapped brownies (no nuts)
-3 Volunteers to bring in 20 juice boxes
-3 Volunteers to bring in 20 snack packs of chips
We still need drivers to deliver the lunches. There are still openings every day so you can pick which ever day works best for your summer schedule.
6/11 “AN EVENING WITH ELVIS”
This is Shepherds Rest Ministries biggest fundraiser of the year. This year they are having “An evening with Elvis” featuring Jeffrey Cole with Rev. Johnny Turner and the Steadfast Quartet.
