Looking for church community?
As a church, we see that God designed us to do life together. And the best way to do that is through our small groups. We have groups meeting every day of the week, in every stage of life, as well as men’s groups and women’s groups. Many who participate in small groups find that their small group becomes their church family. To learn more and find a small group that fits with your schedule and stage of life, visit the Ministry Cart in the Commons this weekend. You may also access more info by clicking here.

Help us ‘usher’ in a new year…
Are you friendly? Do you like to greet people, make them feel comfortable, even solve small problems on the spot? If you answered yes to any of those, you may have a future in ushering! Our Connections Team is looking to recruit several additional ushers for teams we are adding to our weekend services. We need help at our Saturday services, and we also need help at both the first and second Sunday services. For more information, please email Jennifer Clemens, jclemens@fiveoakschurch.org.
The Retreat needs your help
We are still looking for help in the Retreat, our ministry for differently-abled children in our church family. This ministry blesses many children in our church with different physical and learning challenges, and it blesses their parents by allowing them to worship each week with great peace of mind. If you are able to volunteer even once each month at our 9 am service, please contact Laura at retreat@fiveoakschurch.org.
Please pray for our missionaries with us
Please join us as we gather to pray for the 14 Five Oaks-supported missionaries, their families and their ministries. September 24, room 105. 10:15-11 am. Bonus: treats will be served! We’d love to have your prayer support for these global partners!
