Tonight Is Night of Prayer and Praise!

In 20 years, yes, we'll be able to tell our children that Northstar Community Church started meeting in a hotel.

For the past few months, John and Shannon Velsors, our fearless leaders, have been meeting with our launch team at the Wingate hotel in Coon Rapids. We've been talking about the vision for the church, our desire to reach our community, and many other things as we have been getting ready for our grand opening on February 13, 2011. 

We're only a few hours away from our last meeting. Tonight is going to be a night of prayer and praise. We'll be praying through a wide variety of things, so it'll be exciting to see how God moves.

Next weekend we'll start meeting at the movie theater at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The first three weekends will be "sneak preview" services as we try to figure out exactly how service will run in a movie theater. Pastor John will be talking about the vision and purpose of the church. Those three services lead up to our grand opening service... by the way, did I tell you that Northstar's grand opening is on February 13, 2011?

In case you didn't catch the emphasis on February 13, 2011, the date of our grand opening, we're emphasizing February 13, 2011, because we want you to come! We want you to join us for our grand opening, the big launch, the official beginning of our church in Coon Rapids on February 13, 2011.

Prayer and praise in a few hours. Grand opening in a few weeks. It's going to be an awesome month!
