CHURCH YARD SALE: MISSIONS FUNDRAISER
Saturday, June 07 @ 8:00am-12:00pm
Past years’ missions yard sales were such a hit and such a great fundraiser for our mission efforts in Nicaragua, we’re having another one this summer!!!
Do YOU have items that are new or gently used that you don’t need or want anymore? Donate them to us! You get unwanted/unneeded items out of your house, we get to include those items in the Yard Sale and make money to build houses for families in Nicaragua, and items not sold will go to local thrift ministries to further bless and help others. Win/win/win!
DONATION DROP OFF OPTIONS:
- Sundays – drop off items after Northpark’s 10:00am church services beginning May 11. There will be a trailer on-site where items can be loaded, and a NP staff member will be glad to unlock that for you!
- May 12-May 31 – schedule a drop off by texting Stephanie with your name and requested time/date at (252) 714-3709.
- Tues, June 03 & Thurs, June 05 – drop off 10:00a – 2:00p at NP
And if you love yard sales or know people who do, make sure to mark your calendar and share this date for the actual sale: Sat, June 7 at 8:00am-12:00pm!

Again in 2025, we are honored to partner with our friends Than & Megan Graffam at Hope Project International in Nicaragua! Hope Project International supports the work of a local church ministry in Nicaragua. Through their ministry, children are fed, homes are built, education is made possible, and life skills are taught. They are doing a fantastic job of implementing a process to help their community and not just give them a handout. We are going to support the work that they are already doing – not to help them find a better way or to help them improve their systems, We trust in the systems created by the people who live in this community day in and day out and the strategic plans working to bring about aid and life change. The results are evident and we are thankful for their hard work and dedication!
Get all the details and deadlines, ask questions, or sign up for the 2025 Nicaragua Mission Trip HERE!
There’s brand new merch in Northpark’s online merch store! Check it out HERE.

This could be partnering or volunteering with a local organization, helping a community member who is elderly or unable to complete a task such as yard work, building a ramp, etc., meeting tangible needs of a single parent, the list goes on!
Your input and voice matter and we are thankful to have a church family that seeks out ways to serve! We will prayerfully consider all ideas and take on projects based on timing, availability, resources, and the leading of the Holy Spirit!
One of our goals for 2022 is to put more resources in the hands of the Northpark family as we continue our journey as life-long followers of Jesus. It’s our prayer that these resources in their various forms create opportunities to learn more about Christ and His character, who He has created you to be, and how to apply all that you’ve learned to every aspect of your life!
ONE great resource that we are excited to offer beginning this month is RightNow Media! A quick and simple way to describe it would be Netflix but for Bible study resources.

This is available to anyone at Northpark and in your family for free. You can access videos, lessons, quick studies and long term ones, and more – any time of day.
