Weekend of March 1
Be part of what God is doing in Oaks Kids
One consistent adult can make an eternal difference in a child’s life. As our Kids ministry grows, so does an opportunity to multiply our elementary small groups— moving from two classrooms to three — so kids can be discipled more intentionally. We do that by training and equipping new small group leaders who are willing to jump in and help show Jesus’ love to our kids. The commitment is just once a month, and everything you need — training, curriculum, and support — is provided. You don’t have to be a Bible expert; you simply have to be willing to show up and build relationships. One consistent adult can make an eternal difference in a child’s life. Email Kayleigh Allred, kallred@oakscg.church, to learn more.
Oaks Kids volunteers: Join us for our training on Monday
We’re inviting all Oaks Kids volunteers to join us on Monday, March 2, 6:30–8 pm at Five Oaks Church as we align around our mission and continue building a ministry where every child feels safe, known, and growing in their love for Jesus. We’ll celebrate wins, sharpen our focus, solve real problems, share ideas, and learn together. For all the details and to register, click here. Email Kayleigh Allred, kallred@oakscg.church, with questions.
Interested in baptism?
Many people sense God inviting them to take a next step—but aren’t always sure what that looks like. Baptism is a powerful way to publicly declare new life in Christ, and we’re preparing for our next baptism service on March 29. If you’ve been wondering whether this step is for you or simply want to learn more, email Henry Michael at henrymw@oakscg.church.
Making generosity simpler
We’re moving our church giving to a new platform housed in the Church Center app, the same app many of you already use to stay connected through groups, events, and serving. This update makes it easier to access your giving history and set up or manage recurring gifts—all in one place. You received a card today with your worship guide that outlines the steps to move your giving to the new platform. If you currently have a recurring gift set up, you’ll just need to take a minute to transfer it from our old platform to the new one in Church Center. Get started by going to the giving page on our website. Questions or want help? Email Liza Halverson, lhalverson@fiveoakschurch.org.
The Bible plan you’ll actually finish
No more confusion—just clarity. Listen to the Bible in 10 minutes a day with this 40-day plan. Perfect if you don’t have time for Story of God, want a refresher, or want to invite a searching friend. Join the March 2 launch by signing up here.
What does God see when he looks at your heart?
The men of 1 Samuel weren’t polished heroes—they were complex, flawed leaders who made mistakes just like we do today. Their stories challenge us to look beneath the surface and examine the gap between the image we present and the condition of our hearts. Journeymen, our men’s ministry, is launching a 10-session video study on 1 Samuel beginning in March. Join us as we learn from their successes, failures, and the faithfulness of God through it all. Wednesday nights, starting March 4, and Saturday mornings, starting March 7. Questions? Email Matt Karasek at matthewade77@gmail.com.
