Weekend of February 8+9

two steps to membership

Membership is important at Five Oaks. It’s a way of saying, “I want to be part of the mission of this local church.” If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, and you have completed the Story of God class, we would love to have you join us for our membership class on Sunday, February 16 at 9 am. Details and registration here. If you’re interested in membership but have not yet taken Story of God, we have several classes starting this winter. You can get details and register here. Questions? Email Kelsey Vang, kvang@fiveoakschurch.org.


A can’t-miss event for public school educators
Are you a Christian working in a public school? Start your Saturday with an uplifting morning of fellowship, worship, and inspiration designed just for you. Connect with like-minded educators over a hot breakfast, be encouraged by powerful testimonies of God’s work in our schools, and be inspired by a keynote speaker who will leave you ready to tackle the challenges ahead with renewed purpose. Saturday, February 8, 8:30-11 am at Five Oaks. Details and registration here.

Looking for a way to serve as a family?
Feed My Starving Children in Eagan welcomes kids as young as 5 years old to pack meals with a parent present. Bring your whole family -- and your neighbors -- to pack meals with other Five Oakers on Saturday, February 15, 9:30-11:15 am. Interested? Sign up here: Questions? Email impact@fiveoakschurch.org.

Join us to pray for the Together Campaign
You are part of the heart of our church’s mission. We know you’re invested in what God has next for Five Oaks. Because of our commitment to how God is moving in our church, we invite you to join us for a time of prayer — together — at one or more of our Together Prayer Gatherings. Look forward to a low-key time that includes prayer in smaller groups and time for individual prayer and reflection. Whether you’re a veteran prayer or someone newer to prayer, God wants to hear from you on behalf of the Together Campaign. Thursdays, 6-7 pm, January 9-February 27. Questions? Email Brandon and Sara Hale at haleandcompany@gmail.com.

We’d love your help with our growing ministry
It’s no secret that adults play a key role in helping teens explore important faith-based questions and mature into their own relationship with Jesus. If you’d like to get involved on Wednesday nights with middle or high school students, we have a variety of roles with varying levels of commitment. You could help with set-up or clean-up, meal team, help lead a small group, and more. Email students@fiveoakschurch.org to get started.

Are you new? Interested in small groups?
Small groups are a great way to help a bigger church, like ours, feel like a small church. If you’re new or newish to Five Oaks, you likely are looking for a way to plug in AND learn more about our church. Consider checking out our New Here small group led by Ben and Theresa Gulsvig. This group meets twice monthly after the second service on Sundays. They start with a potluck lunch and have childcare available. Go to
www.fiveoaks.church/small-groups to get started.

FREE FOOD - Curious about all the IMPACT Five Oaks is having?
Are you curious about all the ways that our people are IMPACTing our community and our world?  Four times per year, our various impact ministries gather for a meal and a time of storytelling, idea sharing, and prayer.  It’s a great place for you to join and get a pulse on Impact at Five Oaks.  The next gathering is on Monday, February 17 at 6pm at Five Oaks.   Please let Dave Baar know if you’re interested in joining (impact@fiveoakschurch.org), or you can just show up!
