Weekend of July 25 + 26

Youth Mission Trip to New Orleans -- Fourteen high schoolers and five leaders from Five Oaks loaded their vans for New Orleans on July 25. Once there, they plan to spend the next week helping poverty-level homeowners rebuild and repair their homes. Many of these homeowners are still struggling to reclaim normalcy since hurricane Katrina wiped out their homes 10 years ago. The team has several prayer walks planned in these neighborhoods. Please pray for their travel safety, health and hydration, and for the hearts of the homeowners they will be reaching. You may follow their New Orleans journey and adventures on Instagram: @fiveoaksstudents.

Weekend of July 18 + 19

Karen Backpack Drive -- Our annual Backpack Drive to benefit Karen refugee families starts now! Many of the Karen families are new arrivals to the U.S. and are unable to purchase school supplies for their children. The Bryant Small Group will deliver filled backpacks to the Brittany apartments. Backpack supply lists are available at the Impact Table during weekend services. Help us reach our goal to fill 300 backpacks! Filled backpacks are due back by Sunday, August 2.
