This is Us

We are the church, whether we are gathered or scattered--each one of us, a part of the body of Christ, wherever we go, whatever we do.

So, where can you find us, and what are we doing?

Every Tuesday we have our weekly all-staff meeting at 10am. It may be my favorite meeting of the week, partly because it always starts with stories. It also keeps us all on the same page, working as a team of teams. It’s also fun to all be in one room. But this week week we were all in one Zoom. We have a great team! I am amazed how they are responding on the fly. Lots of frustrations along the way. Technology is of the devil, right? Haha. But little by little we’re getting better at youth group meetings and devotions online, prayers on Facebook, reading to Five Oaks Kids online, watch parties and book discussions online, small groups online, and so many other things that are happening right now. I’m so thankful for our staff team and so many key volunteer leaders that breaking down the gates of hell these days online.

You Can Watch Our Online Services on Your TV

For those of you who haven’t been able to watch on your TV…

Since we have started posting our services on YouTube, you can now watch it on your TV even if you don’t have a way of casting it from your phone or computer. Get the YouTube app for your streaming device or smart TV (if you don’t already have it), and search for “Five Oaks Church.” You’ll see the logo and name. Go to our page. It looks like the picture below.

If you don’t know how to download an app to your smart TV or steaming device (or you have no idea what I mean by “streaming device” or what’s so smart about some TV’s), you’re probably a boomer like me, so I just want to remind you of what I have to remind myself all the time: there’s a YouTube video out there that will tell you how to do it. Or call one of your kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews. They’ll know how. Hahaha
