Father’s Day: A #donotmiss weekend at Five Oaks
Dads, we know you’ve felt it before but maybe never wanted to admit it: Mother’s Day is often pretty amazing, right? And Father’s Day, well... That’s about to change! Join us on Saturday, June 18 after the 4:30 pm service for a FREE backyard barbecue supper for the whole family! We’ll grill hot dogs and burgers, and we’ll have all the fixings to round out supper. Guys, bring along your favorite steak and we’ll grill it up for you! Then be sure to come back on Sunday, June 19, when we’ll have the MikMart ice cream truck selling ice cream treats before and after our services. Bonus feature: FREE ice cream for all the guys!
Cutting paper for Jesus: The party continues this week!
Do you think cutting paper for Jesus sounds like a party? (We do!) If you enjoy being creative or simply have a desire to help, we’d love your help in preparing VBS decorations. You don’t need to come with a special set of skills. A willingness to help is perfection! Join us this Sunday, June 12. We’ll start this party at 1 pm in the gym. Not signed up? Come anyway! Walk-ups are welcome!
College-aged small group launches June 26
Hey 18-23-year-olds! You’re invited to join us on Sunday, June 26, for the launch of our young adults’ small group! We’ll have snacks, some fun social activities, and friendship! Whether you’re just home for the summer or will be attending Five Oaks year-round, you’re invited! Interested or know someone who might be? Email Danny Martin.
You can run, but you can’t hide from Henry Michael and Kyler this summer
Your students can look forward to several fun events and an ongoing Bible study planned for Wednesdays during the summer. We won’t meet every week, so be sure to check the schedule here. Questions? Email Kyler or Henry Michael.
Bless your City Grants: We’ll help your small group reach others
One offshoot of our BLESS Campaign is our Bless Your City Grants. These grants are designed to help Five Oaks small groups meet important needs in their city while serving together in the name of Jesus. The objective is to develop an ongoing relationship with those who need to experience God’s love, hope, and provision. Bless Your City Grants are intended to help defray the cost of a project or need. Questions? Or do you have a project in mind? Email Dave Baar.
Ladies and gents: Looking to make new friendships this summer?
Summer can be a great time to meet some new friends, and we’d love to help you do that. Both our men’s and women’s ministries have some great opportunities for connection over the summer. Our men’s ministry, Journeymen, will meet every other Saturday at 7 am, starting June 11. They will meet for Bible study and fellowship at church. Our women’s ministry, Five Oaks Women, will meet for Wednesday morning park playdates, and a Tuesday evening Bible study in the backyard of one of our volunteer leaders. Both men’s and women’s groups would love for you to show up when you can. Interested? Email Matt Karasek for info on men’s summer offering. Women’s summer info is here.
Help wanted!
Do you have a heart for serving and mentoring kids right here in Woodbury? Are you wanting to serve in a bigger way? If the answer to either of those questions is YES, please prayerfully consider taking on a leadership role in the Kids Hope USA ministry at Five Oaks. Our partnership with Kids Hope USA and Woodbury Elementary has been running for over 10 years, impacting the lives of more than 100 Woodbury Elementary School students. We need new leaders with a heart for kids and Jesus to step in and take this ministry forward. If God is moving your heart to learn more, please email Dave Baar.
