The New Year can bring a lot of change to our lives. In an effort to help alleviate overcrowding issues at our current services, we are shifting our service times in hope that we’ll have more balanced attendance.

Beginning January 1st, 2012 our new Sunday Service times are 9am, 10:15am, 11:30am, & 7:30pm.
WildKingdom & UpTown will be at the 10:15am and 11:30am services ONLY

We want you to stay connected in the new year. The best way to keep you updated on all the latest around here is through TXTSIGNAL.
It’s really simple: enter your name, cell number, and carrier (At&t, Verizon, T-mobile, etc.) and we’ll send you a text message to keep you in the loop.
And we won’t EVER spam your phone or give your information away to anyone.
With winter on the way, we keep you informed if there’s been a change in services due to inclement weather.

Think the return lines at the mall are bad? Try getting emergency blood between Christmas and New Year’s. Every single year, that’s the week when the need for blood is especially high—and donations are critically low.

The New York Blood Center is asking for 100 donors this time around. Let’s make it happen. Stop by True North this Thursday, Dec. 29 between 2:30 and 8:30 pm and squeak in a little lifesaving on your way to 2012.

UpTown is our awesome Sunday morning children’s program for ages K-5.

If you have a child in UpTown or you’re considering bringing your kids in, we have an event we’d like to invite you to.

We’re hosting an UpTown open house event for Parents on Friday, November 18th @ 7pm. This is an opportunity to meet the UpTown staff and talk with your child’s small group leader. The event will last about an hour and childcare will be available.

We believe the key to positively  influencing a child’s life is relationships and partnering with parents.

Signups are happening NOW for our soup & chili cook-off on Sunday, December 11th.
