New Journeymen Series Begins July 11 – Men…now is the time to jump in on the next series, a 6-week journey focusing on creating margin in our lives. Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits, so we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. Without that margin, we have no room for error. Love, intimacy and friendship happen in the unstructured areas of margin. Join us as we explore God’s answer to our need for margin. Saturday mornings starting July 11. Doors open at 6:30 am; series starts at 7 am. Contactjourneymen@fiveoakschurch.org for more info.

Treehouse Needs YOU this Summer! – Each weekend during the school year, 54 volunteers minister to our kids! During the summer, these volunteers take a well-earned rest from ministry.

Please email Rhiannon Rutledge at rrutledge@fiveoakschurch.org to sign up or for more info.
…and while your family is serving in Treehouse… – We need several individuals to fill slots this summer as Ushers or in White Glove (light housekeeping to make Five Oaks sparkle between services). Please email Carol Jorgensen at cjorgensen@fiveoakschurch.orgfor more info.
France Team Update – On July 2, Five Oaks Church sent a team of eight to serve at Camp des Cimes, France.
