			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s time for the Beach, BBQ&#8217;s, and spending some quality time with friends &amp; family.<br />
There&#8217;s a lot going on around here in the month of June. Check it out:</p>
<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Leave_Your_Mark_Web_Graphic.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1167" title="Leave_Your_Mark_Web_Graphic" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Leave_Your_Mark_Web_Graphic.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="390" /><br />
</a><strong><br />
This Sunday</strong> we&#8217;ll be hosting a 25 minute &#8220;Volunteer Showcase&#8221;. This is a chance to see what we as a staff &amp; volunteers do every Sunday.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to attend, simply stay in the auditorium <strong>after the 12noon service</strong> or contact our Volunteer Coordinator<br />
Steve Cirillo: <a href="mailto:steve@truenorthchurch.net" target="_blank">steve@truenorthchurch.net</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1168" title="Free_Union_Church_Web_Graphic" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Free_Union_Church_Web_Graphic.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="390" /><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Free_Union_Church_Web_Graphic.jpg"><br />
</a></p>
<p>The Free Union Church has been serving the community of Ocean Beach, Fire Island for over 90 years. True North has entered a partnership with them to help run their Sunday Services.<br />
Beginning <strong>Sunday, June 19th</strong> we&#8217;ll be holding services here in Bohemia AND on Fire Island all summer until Sunday, September 11th.<br />
Service on Fire Island will begin at <strong>10:45am (one service only)</strong>.  And while we will have TN staff &amp; volunteers out there every week, the service itself will be a bit more traditional in nature.</p>
<p>We hope you&#8217;ll come out and visit. Ocean Beach can be accessed by the Fire Island Ferries running out of Bay Shore. We&#8217;ll be selling discounted tickets starting this Sunday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/blood_drive_slide.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1169" title="blood_drive_slide" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/blood_drive_slide-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="602" height="339" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>On <strong>Monday, June 20th</strong> we&#8217;ll be hosting a Blood Drive from <strong>2:30pm to 8:30pm</strong>. Help save a life, donate!<br />

<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/junk.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1171" title="junk" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/junk.jpeg" alt="" width="608" height="405" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Did you know our new home as a church is a lot bigger than you might think?  Our building has a large, currently unused portion known as &#8220;Phase II&#8221;. This section of the building will eventually house a larger auditorium, lobby and help expand UpTown &amp; Wild Kingdom.</p>
<p>On <strong>Saturday &amp; Sunday, June 25th &amp; 26th</strong> we&#8217;ll be having a Yard Sale (rain or shine) in Phase II. Not only will this help us unload &#8220;stuff&#8221; that has accumulated over the last 5 years, but proceeds from the sale will help us get started financially for our Phase II project.  If you have items that you&#8217;d like to donate to the Yard Sale, you can drop them off Sunday, June 12<sup>th</sup>- Thurs. June 16<sup>th</sup> &amp; Sunday, June 19th.  If you need to drop off on the 17th or 18th, please call the church by Thurs to arrange. 631-476-3811</p>
<p>Items NOT to donate: lightly used toothbrushes, old socks, unwanted pets, any type of junk, etc.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Night_Of_Worship_Web_Graphic_.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1172" title="Night_Of_Worship_Web_Graphic_" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Night_Of_Worship_Web_Graphic_.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="390" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Worship is defined as our response, both personal and corporate, to God&#8211;for who he is and what he&#8217;s done.  Every Sunday at church we gather for an hour to spend time with God, but it’s our hope that your desire to worship God will extend beyond Sunday mornings.</p>
<p>On <strong>Wednesday, June 22nd @ 7:30pm</strong> True North will be hosting a night of worship. This is a time for us to gather and sing to God. If you plan on attending night of worship we&#8217;d like to make a few requests:</p>
<p>1. If True North is not your home church, we request that you not attend the Night of Worship. That may sound a bit harsh, but our space will be limited and this is an event we want to celebrate with our church family – that is, the people who call our church &#8220;home&#8221;.</p>
<p>2. Night of Worship is a place for believers. Unlike most of our services, this is not a good night to invite your friends who are on the fence about their faith. This is a night to sing &amp; lift your hands in worship to our creator.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Get-Well-card-front.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1173" title="Get Well - card front" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Get-Well-card-front-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="546" height="819" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Over 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. The community groups of True North are partnering with Charity Water in a project called &#8220;Get Well&#8221;.</p>
<p>This summer we&#8217;ll be collecting and depositing water bottle. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">100,000 bottles could dig a well in sub-Saharan Africa </span>and give an entire village access to clean drinking water.</p>
<p>Bring your water bottles or deposits from recycling to True North and we&#8217;ll put it to our &#8220;Get Well&#8221; project. For more information on the water crisis visit <a href="http://www.charitywater.org">www.charitywater.org</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Water_Baptism_Web_Graphic.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1174" title="Water_Baptism_Web_Graphic" src="http://truenorthblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Water_Baptism_Web_Graphic.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="390" /><br />
</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span>We will be holding a baptism at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai on <strong>July 23rd @ 10:00 am</strong>. Signups will begin this Sunday.<br />
Spectators are welcomed &amp; encouraged!</p>
