Putting the unreached within reach
Some of you may have heard about unreached people groups and the 10-40 window. This weekend you will hear about Global Fingerprints and the simple ways you can partner with them in reaching the unreached and planting churches in places like Indonesia, Myanmar, India, and Vietnam — while also ministering to vulnerable children and supporting critical projects. To learn more, visit the Global Fingerprints table in the Commons after services this weekend.
“Go Into All the World, and take your job with you” — IT opening in Vietnam
From one of our Impact partners: “Our recruiting firm recently opened an office in Hanoi and quickly partnered with a like-minded company in the country, a fast-growing IT company with an intentionally run management team. They are located in Da Nang and asked us to help them find an intentional leader to expand their team.” Interested? Email impact@fiveoakschurch.org for more info.
Ladies: mark your calendar for fun and fellowship
Women’s ministry is looking forward to moving back to full programming in the fall, both in the building and in each other’s homes. Join us for an evening of fellowship, food and re-connection as we gather at church to learn more about the exciting fall ministry events that our leadership team is planning. August 5, starting at 7 pm. More details to come. Questions? Contact Kathleen Miller, skmiller90@gmail.com.
Please pray for upcoming high school mission trips
Over the next few weeks, Five Oaks is going to be the host spot for APEX teams ministering to our city. We are hosting other local churches along with our very own high school youth group while they serve alongside local ministry partners, building lasting relationships, and go through leadership training. As students use our building as a home base, join us in praying for the impact of their serving, for health and safety, and that these groups gel together and create lasting friendships.
An easy way to serve
Do you have a heart for kids and desire to help but aren’t sure you are ready to serve in a classroom? Each week we are looking for volunteers to greet parents, help check in their children and hang out in the hallway in case of an emergency. If that is something you think you might be available to help with, email Kelly Bauman at kbauman@fiveoakschurch.org.
Make the most of those parenting moments this summer
Summer is a great time to be intentional about connecting as a family. Our Family Discipleship Team created a series of four short videos in hopes of coming alongside you as parents and helping you maximize opportunities you may encounter with your kids and students this summer. These videos cover the five essential rhythms for families to thrive together. You can access any of these videos and resources on our website: www.fiveoaks.church/family.
Your willing hands and smile will go a long way this summer
It’s hard to believe that June is nearly behind us! Many of our regular Five Oaks Kids volunteers have travel plans this summer, which means we’d love any help you can offer up on any given weekend. Our staff does most of the teaching, but we’d love your help to just have fun with the kids, help them with crafts, games, and group discussions. Interested?

Will you add a couple of items to your grocery store run?
Could you and your family provide a store-bought meal once per month to a foster family in Washington County? We are looking for extra help with our Five Oaks Foster Family Meal Team. Your willingness to pick up and drop off an easy-prep meal for a foster family helps provide a basic need to these families who are standing in the gap for vulnerable children. Interested in this simple, once-per-month way to show the love of Christ to others? Text Juli Servatius at 651-206-9034 or email impact@fiveoakschurch.org.
