Last chance to submit a favorite memory!
One year ago, God began a new chapter for Oaks Church, and we have so much to celebrate! Join us on Sunday, September 27, 5–7:30 pm at Five Oaks Church, as we celebrate God’s faithfulness over the past year with a chili cook-off potluck, raffle prizes, and time together as a church family. Be sure to register, sign up to bring your favorite chili or side dish, and share any favorite memories or stories from the past year that will help us remember God’s faithfulness.

Help grow the next generation
Behind every child who knows they are loved by Jesus is someone who chose to show up. As Oaks Kids continues to grow, we need more leaders to help kids know Jesus, feel valued, and take their next step in faith. Whether you teach, welcome families, serve in a classroom, or support a child one-on-one, your presence makes an eternal impact. Even serving once a month makes a difference! Email Kayleigh Allred to get started.

Calling all motorcycle riders
If you enjoy riding, we’d love to get a group together for a weekend ride through eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. We’re still working out the details, so reach out if you’d like to be part of the conversation and help get the ride rolling. Contact Patrick Bennett here or text 651-272-6407. All are welcome!
