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.
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.

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.
