Weekend of May 31
Take your next step as a leader
You influence people every day — at work, at home, in ministry, and in your community. Whether you’re just discovering that or you’ve been leading for years, the best leaders never stop growing. The Global Leadership Summit is a two-day experience designed to equip you to make a greater impact where God has placed you. Five Oaks is a host site this year — join us August 6 and 7. Details and registration here. Register by June 19 before the price goes up by $50!
High schoolers, take a study break with us
Finals week: cramming for exams, editing and re-editing that research paper, preparing for that huge presentation, finalizing tasks for that group project. Zero sleep, bizarre snacks, and frankly, no breaks. Sound dismal? High schoolers, take a short break from the crazy and join us on Wednesday, June 3, 7-9 pm, at Five Oaks. Give your brain a rest for hang time, open gym, board games, and snacks. All students grade 9 and older are welcome. Questions? Email Mindy Wissink, mwissink@fiveoakschurch.org.
Student Summer Events: Mark your calendar
Youth group looks a bit different in the summer with lighter programming and an emphasis on connection and big fun at our Students Summer Events nights. These kick off on June 24 at Five Oaks Church, with a different theme each week. Mark your calendar now for June 24, July 22, August 5, 12, and 19. (Yes! These are great invite opportunities for your friends!) More details to come. Questions? Email Mindy Wissink.
Elementary families, let’s splash into summer
Calling all K–5th grade families! Pack a picnic dinner and join us for an evening of swimming, food, and fun together Thursday, June 19, 5–7 pm at the Swim Pond at Lake Elmo Park Reserve. This is a great chance to connect with other elementary families, build friendships, and meet others in the same season of life at Oaks. We’d love to see you there! Details and registration here. Questions? Email Kayleigh Allred, kallred@oakscg.church.
Oak's Church park playdates are back this summer!
Join us Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30 am at local Cottage Grove parks! This will be a time for parents and caregivers to connect and grow in community together while our children play and do the same! We’ll be meeting at a different park each week, so please check the GroupMe for the weekly location. To be added to the GroupMe, contact Holly Williams at mrshollyw@gmail.com. All are welcome - we’d love for you to join us! Playdates start on June 10.
Summer is better together
With the slower pace of summer, we have several events planned for kids and families to help people connect and form deeper friendships. Next weekend, we’ll have the full schedule available for pickup after the service. For now, save the date for our first all-church picnic on June 28 after church! More details to come! Questions? Email Jennifer Fair, mejifair@gmail.com.
