Maundy Thursday Drama

You’re invited to experience the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples through this special Holy Week worship service. People from North Star will help bring the disciples’ perspectives to the table and we will share in communion together as we remember the night that Jesus gave us the mandatum to love one another. (Mandatum is the Latin word for mandate or command.)

Agents of Change
Oct

to Nov 26

Agents of Change

We are called to make a difference. Saved on purpose for a purpose. We are not meant to be just consumers but contributors, engaged in the mission of Christ in the world. Called to love God, love people, and be Christ ambassadors in the world. The mission of Christ, if we choose to accept it, is one that is life changing and world changing. Christ’s mission in the world is one that proclaims good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoner, sets the oppressed free and proclaims the Lord’s favor. It is a calling to be agents of change who feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, visit the prisoner, clothe the naked, care for the sick and welcome the stranger.  We are called to be transformed by the grace and love of Jesus and to share Christ love in our world in a way that the lives of others are changed by the love of Christ that they encounter in and through us. We are called to go into the world, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to change the world. We are to be Agents of Change!

LENT Worship

The Fisherman are invited to come back and try their hand at fishing again. Jesus invites us on a journey that leads to a life more fulfilling than we could ever imagine -- we just have to leave behind our nets and follow Him.

During this season of Lent, consider what it is that we need to let go of and leave behind so that we can experience the fulness of life that Jesus has for us. Make today be a time of recognizing the need for Jesus and coming back to follow him.
