Rearview Mirror

  • Incredible week 3 of Little Big Town.....takeaway of morning "Christmas is about the impossible becoming possible"
  • Worship was incredible....as usual!!
  • On Saturday, I got to see "Shop with a Warrior" and "Shop with a Mustang" at North Cobb and Kennesaw Mountain High Schools. These 2 schools had over 800 students out to shop with over 4oo under-privileged students from our area. The 2 schools raised well over $60,000 to do the shopping!! Can you believe that....unreal!! NStar got to give $5,000 to each school and help with feeding with NCHS....Marlon, Brad, Lee Ann, Jimmy & Nick did an amazing job with this!!! I was so proud to watch this happen - AMAZING!
  • NorthStar this year gave over $30,000 to "Shop with" a Hero, Mustang & Warrior programs along with our people adopting 70+ families for Christmas! Those families represent 600+ people.......this is most giving church I have ever met!!!
  • We had our family Christmas party (for the Linch side) on Saturday and it was so fun to see everybody!!
  • Just had end of the year Management Team meeting for NorthStar - what an amazing group of leaders that God has assembled here.....I am blown away that I get to serve alongside these awesome men!
  • Met a family yesterday that was at NStar for the first time and they are moving in from Maine. They have been listening to the podcast since early fall "Coin series' and have already decided to join us before ever attending their first service!!! Too awesome!
  • So proud of our outdoor greeters and parking lot teams yesterday...it was SO cold but they had a smile on their faces and were so incredible!!
  • Drove on campus last night for our Student "Fuse" event (my son loved it) and saw all of the cars and it was so cool to know that upstairs in True North Freedom Church was meeting getting ready to launch in January! Glad we could play a part!
  • Another week of experiencing God's blessings!

Mike, Sunday morning was simply awesome! The worship was incredible and the message really spoke to us. We left inspired, blessed, excited and really pumped - then walked out into the crisp, cold air and really felt the joy of this season. Thanks to all the NStar team for the highlight of our week! (LOVED the "Charlie Brown" video!!!)

We can't begin to tell you how glad we are to be a part of NStar!
