Weekend of January 11
Interested in taking Story of God?
Do you ever find the Bible confusing or wonder how you fit into God’s plan? Consider taking Story of God, an eight-week guided journey through the Bible. Those who have taken the class have gained a greater understanding of how the Bible fits together to tell one big story. Learn how you fit into the bigger story that God has for your life. You’ll meet with a cohort once a week and can expect about 30 minutes of outside work each day. We’d like to offer a Story of God classes to Oaks attenders starting in February. Interested in learning more? Start by emailing Henry Michael.
Volunteers: Please join us for Growing Together!
Our kids ministry is growing, and we’re so thankful for all you do! We’d love to gather on January 27 from 6–7:30 pm to celebrate what’s going well, talk through ways we can grow, and continue building a kids ministry where kids are safe, known, and growing in their love for Jesus. If you are interested in getting involved in Oaks Kids, we’d love for you to join us for this training! Interested? Sign up by emailing Kayleigh Allred.
