Weekend of July 26
Want to invest in our young people?
As Oaks Church continues to grow, it’s time to start building our Student Ministry team. We are looking for adults who want to invest in the lives of middle and high school students. You don’t need to be perfect or have all the answers, just a heart to build relationships and point students to Jesus. Investing in the next generation will make a lasting impact on students, and chances are, they’ll have just as much of an impact on you. If you’re interested or want more info, contact Joe O’Kane, jokane@oakscg.church.
Don’t miss Oaks Kids Family Camp on August 8
Elementary families, mark your calendars for family camp on August 8, 9 am-12 pm at Five Oaks Church. Join us for a fun-filled morning of worship, games, team competitions, crafts, and meaningful family conversations as we explore what it looks like to follow Jesus as a family. Childcare is available for preschool-aged children and younger. Details and registration here.
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.
Are you interested in baptism?
One of the greatest joys in the life of our church is celebrating baptisms. On August 16, we’ll gather outdoors to hear stories of God’s grace and celebrate as believers publicly declare their faith in Jesus. If you’ve been thinking about baptism or have questions about what it is and why it matters, we’d love to connect with you. Email Henry Michael at henrymw@oakscg.church to learn more and explore whether baptism is your next step.
Middle and high schoolers: See you at the farm!
Summer is better with people who know you, encourage you, and point you to Jesus. We’ve missed you, and chances are your friends have missed you, too. Join us for one great summer night at the Vierling Farm! Look forward to games, worship with Ariel, a message from Philip Vierling, a bonfire, and plenty of time to connect. Bring a chair, a yard game, and a friend. All middle and high schoolers are welcome.Sunday, August 9 at 6:30 pm. Questions? Email Joe O’Kane, jokane@oakscg.church.

Prayers for the Ennulat family
We sent an email earlier this week to the congregation with the tragic news of the passing of our longtime Five Oaker, Harold Ennulat. Harold and his wife, Kari, were in a car accident on Sunday. Kari sustained life-threatening injuries but is expected to recover. If you’d like to send a card to Kari, please send them to our office:
Kari Ennulat
℅ Five Oaks Church
4416 Radio Dr.
Woodbury, MN 55129
If you know the Ennulats and would like to pray for Kari’s recovery, there is a Caringbridge site set up for her that will require approval before viewing. You’ll find more info here.
