GET IN THE GAME + some other important stuff...

GET IN THE GAME!!

We are in the middle of our month-long our month-long GET IN THE GAME promotion! Every week, we will present a different tool for you and your family to get in the game, and help others do the same!

Last Sunday was our BIG GIVE for October.  NSD came through – providing a Suburban-full load of diapers and wipes.  The good people at Shepherd’s Rest (a Paulding County Women’s Shelter) are extremely grateful.  Way to go!

On Saturday (Oct 22), it’s the Great Grand Gas Buy-Down at Grand’s gas station (by Abney)! Join us as we represent NSD  from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  We’ll buy down the price of gas by 25 cents a gallon for all the lucky customers that morning. And we’ll get to show God’s love and show off our NSD spirit by serving coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts to the families who stop by. Join us as we serve and Get In The Game!

We are also seeking donations for The Great GITG Giveaway, during our Game Day Cookout on Oct 30th (more details below).  Anything from items (electronics, gift cards, appliances, etc) to services (yard work, house cleaning, etc) would be great giveaways!  Reply if you’d like to donate... Thank you to those who have already jumped on this!  Feel free to bring your items this Sunday.

         
          THIS SUNDAY, OCT 23rd: Spiritual Growth Seminar "Where Is God When It Hurts?"  9:30 a.m.
        Steve Miller understands life in the trenches—losing his career when his wife was diagnosed with cancer, surviving her death, raising his
        young boys on his own, and presently trying to figure out his blended family of seven boys. In this seminar, Steve will discuss the Biblical principles for surviving (and even thriving!) when life tumbles in.

NEXT SUNDAY, OCT 30th: GAME DAY 10:00AM
This will be such a fun Sunday!  Wear your team colors and come to our one FAMILY service (ages 3+) at 10:00, then move on outside to feast on some burgers and dogs, tailgate style!  We’ll have inflatable games for the kids, and don’t forget to bring your tickets you’ve been collecting all month!  There are some GREAT prizes to be given away!
Who can you introduce to NSD on GAME DAY?

NEW SERVICE TIME, 10:00AM - beginning NOV 6th
We love having everyone in one room at one time for worship, so we’ve decided to move everyone to a 10:00am service!  Yes, we’ll still have our great environments for kids and youth!  Spread the word!

3 opportunities for the weekend of 10.7.11

8Wanted to give you 3 opportunities to serve this weekend:

FRIDAY:
 we have been asked to run the concession stand at North Paulding HS, so their football parents can go watch the homecoming game.  This is great fun for older elementary and up!  If we have enough people, we can cover the band parents at the other concession stand as well! Will you join us?  Reply to brad.parkhurst@northstarchurch.org if so...

SATURDAY:  some of you may know Shannon Groover from the Kennesaw Campus.  She sent me this request this week:
I wanted to contact you guys for two reasons. My husband and I started the North Paulding Wolfpack Youth League  this past spring and are in the middle of our first season. We have 197 kids..wow we weren’t expecting that turn out but it has been great. Anyways this may be a long shot but I wanted to see if the church would have any volunteers that would be interested in helping out at our Homecoming Party Saturday night(this Saturday…6-9) It will be at the fields in Bentwater. We have 3 jumphouses, food vendors and a few games that we are looking for a few extra hands with. We are having a Homecoming walk with our football players and cheerleaders at 7:30. Our board will obviously be working from dusk til dawn but we are trying not to ask other families so they can enjoy the day with their kids.  If you guys have any interest, please let me know.
Reply to 
brad.parkhurst@northstarchurch.org if you’d like to jump in on this one...

SUNDAY:  bake 3-5 dozen cookies and bring them divided in baggies by 2’s or 3’s.  We’ll attach an invite card and hand them back out to our people to take on a cookie blitz to our neighbors.
