Time to register for VBS and FCA camps!
In the summer something huge takes place here at Five Oaks! The whole church is transformed into a place where kids of all ages come to engage and encounter God and his community in a life-changing way at Vacation Bible School (VBS) and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) camp! VBS runs in the morning and FCA in the afternoon of July 10-13. VBS is open to current ages 3 years old through 3rd grade. FCA sports camp is open to current 4th - 7th grades. Volunteers are needed for both events. Register for VBS here. Register for FCA here.
Register now for summer camps with Five Oaks Students!
This summer we are giving a variety of opportunities for our students and our leaders to dive deeper into relationships and God’s Word through summer camp and FCA camp. We do this because the time spent in community and with godly adults in a week of camp equals an entire ministry year of Wednesday night programming. So save the date for Middle School Camp (June 12-17), 9th/10th Grade Camp (June 25-30), and FCA Camp (July 10-13)! Register now at www.fiveoaks.church/students.
Last chance for the best discount on the Global 6K!
Did you know that in some countries, kids often walk 3+ miles each day to access dirty water, the only water they can find. You can help simply by joining our third annual Team World Vision Global 6K for Water at Colby Lake Park on May 20. You can run, walk, push a stroller, & bring your friends and neighbors! Your registration fee provides clean water for one person for a lifetime. World Water Day was March 22, so between now and April 10, save $15 per registration with code WWD23. Go to www.fiveoaks.church/global-6k now to register.
Connect through Pickleball!
As a community, we value having fun together and being active. One way we do that is by playing pickleball in our gym, and we have time slots almost every day of the week. Never played or a beginner? We have time slots for you. 55+? We have time slots for you. Women only? We have time slots for you. Needless to say, if you are interested in playing pickleball or learning what it’s all about, we would love to have you join us! Go to www.fiveoaks.church/pickleball for more information.
Supporting our Global Missionary Partners in the Middle East
One of the many challenges that our Global Missionary Partners face is the loneliness and sense of isolation that can come from leaving family and friends behind to serve Jesus in another country. Emails and Zoom calls can help, but it’s not the same as face-to-face contact and conversations. To that end, a group of Five Oakers will be traveling to the Middle East at the end of April, to connect with the missionaries we support there. The goals of the trip are to express support for these partners, to see and hear about the challenges they face, to pray with them, to seek out new ways we can support them, and to return with a revitalized passion and vision for loving and caring for these partners. Mark your calendars to pray for the Five Oaks team that will be traveling between April 29 - May 6. If you have questions, please email Dave Baar, impact@fiveoakschurch.org.
