Radical Hospitality
Can you make some time on Sunday, January 25th after
the second service to gather with the Radical Hospitality teams? We'll
eat and have some fellowship time. Then we'll talk through some simple
ways for all of us to coordinate our Hospitality efforts. We'll wrap
things up by 1:00 "ish".
We are wide open to ideas on ways to keep doing things well and how to best
organize this ministry.
Think about how can we
keep energized about this ministry and find a nice balance in everyone's
schedule. Feel free to think outside the box. We don't always have to do
things the same way simply because we have always done it that way. How might
we rethink our processes and procedures? What leadership system can we
implement to assure effective Radical Hospitality is offered up on Sunday
mornings and beyond.
Please let Rissa Glick,
781-7604, know if you are interested and will or will not be
able to attend. |

Greetings from Tennessee
Hey y'all,
Just wanted to let you know how excited
Brenda and I were to be back at North Star last Sunday. We really enjoyed
seeing everyone. The last time we got that many hugs was when we
left. Maybe it's because we were part of a new church, but we still
feel like North Star's our home church. We are always with you in spirit
and you are always in our prayers. Enjoyed meeting Jim for the first
time. I can see why we keep hearing so many great things about him.
God bless y'all and we will look forward to our next visit. Of course,
you are always welcome to visit us in Tennessee.
Randy and Brenda
Reeder |
