Easy way to serve this summer
Isn’t summer in Minnesota the best? Beautiful weather, more time to travel...we all love it! All summer long, we continue to offer a high-quality experience for all our kids every weekend in Five Oaks Kids, which means we need 25 volunteers each weekend. Right now our staff is doing the heavy lifting of teaching, so all you need to do is have fun with the kids and shine the light of Jesus to our youngest Five Oakers. Maybe you have never served before, or maybe it’s just been awhile since you’ve been able to help out. If you have a bit of time and a heart that would like to help, please email Kelly Bauman, kbauman@fiveoakschurch.org. Thank you!
Online worship services moving to 9 am only
We have loved seeing so many of our church family back to our in-person worship services in 2021. But, we also want to continue serving our online community, and serve you while you are out of town! Starting the weekend of May 29+30, we will livestream and host the 9 am service only. You can still access our livestreamed services on demand at any time on our website, YouTube, or our online platform,

Huge impact, small investment
Did you know you can make a huge impact on a hard-working foster family by volunteering only one hour every other month? Just join a meal team and take a store-bought meal to a foster family in Washington County. Interested? Text Juli Servatius at 651-206-9034 or email impact@fiveoakschurch.org.
Volunteers: save the date for an evening of fun at the movies
If you or your family members volunteer in any capacity at Five Oaks, we want to say “Thank you” for your willingness to jump in and help make Five Oaks a welcoming place each week. More details will follow, but mark your calendar now for the evening of Monday, August 2. You can look forward to a night out together when Five Oaks volunteers take over the movie theater! Stay tuned for specifics and registration info to come!
FCA Camp is coming to Five Oaks!
Students finishing 4th to 7th grade are going to have a blast at FCA Camp this summer, July 6-9, playing games, learning new sports and discovering how we can PURSUE Jesus in all that we do–school, family, sports and play. This camp is for kids who love sports or who just love to move around. It’s highly interactive with the same station style as VBS. High school/college students can volunteer to be Huddle or Station Captains, and Middle schoolers can volunteer as Junior Captains. Campers will get an FCA t-shirt and Bible, and a snack each day. Bring a water bottle and come ready to play outside! Click here to register now in Realm. Questions? Email Kyler Albert, kalbert@fiveoakschurch.org.
