FIND YOUR PATH TO SERVE
Did you know that we fill over 200 volunteer spots each week to make everything run smoothly? It’s through the dedication and hard work of our amazing community that we can connect people with God and one another. Whether you’re not currently serving, serving annually, or serving monthly, we invite you to join us at our Serve Rally. This event is designed to help you find your perfect serve niche. Each ministry will have a table showcasing available roles and their job descriptions, making it easy for you to explore how you can contribute to God’s work. The Serve Rally will take place between services this weekend and next. Stop by the tables in the commons after services to start exploring ways you can use your gifts to serve our community! Questions? Email Tom Vang, tvang@fiveoakschurch.org.
Missionary prayer this weekend (August 3 - 10:15am - Room 102)
Prayer is the most powerful tool we have to support our IMPACT partners. Join us this Sunday, August 3 at 10:15 am in Room 102 to put that tool to work by bringing the prayer requests of our IMPACT partners to our God.
We’re all leaders: Elevate your leadership
Whether your life’s work is the breadwinning role in the family, a volunteer spot in your community, a supporting role in a nonprofit, or a caregiving role for your kids or aging parents, we all lead others in some capacity. The Global Leadership Summit is the largest leadership event in the country, and this two-day event offers opportunities for growth and sharpening for every leader. Five Oaks is a host site this year! Join us August 7 and 8 to see how God can move the needle in your own leadership. More info here.

Help create a worshipful environment
Great worship doesn’t happen by accident - It happens in part due to a team of highly dedicated tech team volunteers serving to create a worshipful environment. Love tech, creativity, or just serving your church? We’re looking for people to join our Worship Tech Team - the ones who quietly make our weekend services feel seamless and meaningful! No experience needed—we’ll train you. If you’re interested in learning more, email Jared Doran at jdoran@fiveoakschurch.org.
