Stuck at Home Resources

We’re all currently feeling the effects of Covid-19 and our country’s mandates. For some, it looks like working from home or even being laid off. For others it means having all of the kids home…always…with no break! We find ourselves with a lot of time on our hands, we want to provide you with some resources that can help you use this time well! Below you’ll see resources for kids, bible studies, worship playlists, and others. We hope these can be a blessing in your home during this time!

As always, if you have any prayer or care needs please email dave@northstarchurch.ca We are still the Church (capital C!) and we still follow Jesus’s words to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
