World Vision Global 6K: We’d love your help
As the Global 6K for Clean Water approaches on May 16, we need your help to make this event a success for both the communities across the world in need of clean water, and for all of the families who are participating in the event. We’re expecting lots of non-Five Oakers to walk, run, and stroll that day, some of whom have no idea how amazing the people of Five Oaks are. Let’s welcome all who show up that day! We’d love your help with set-up, tear-down, snack table, to name a few. Interested in helping out? (By the way, YES! You can volunteer to help AND walk or run the 6K!) Find more info here.
Help fill the gap this summer
As our Oaks Kids volunteers occasionally miss a Sunday for vacations or sports during summer months, we’d love to bless them by making sure they can be fully present with their families—without worrying about filling their serving spot. If you’ve never served in kids ministry, would you consider trying it just one Sunday this summer? It’s a simple way to make a real difference as we continue creating a safe, fun, and Christ-centered space for kids each week. Email Kayleigh Allred to get started.
Are you a word nerd?
Our church has a devotional called DailyLife, written and edited entirely by volunteers. We currently have openings on our writing and editing teams! If you love to write and/or edit and want to help shepherd our readership in their walk with Jesus, please email Peg Benson, pbenson@fiveoakschurch.org. We provide training and support on an ongoing basis as needed. This is a great way to serve from home — or from the cabin!
Students: gear up for Mission: impact
Give your student the chance to grow in serving others. On April 29 and May 6, high school changes time to 6:00-8:30 pm to experience hands-on service projects at Five Oaks and out in the community, serving with their leaders and trusted partners. (Middle school still meets at Five Oaks 6-8 pm.) These experiences help students build confidence, deepen their faith, and make an impact where we live. Get more high school info and register for serve locations here.
