Volunteer Appreciation Brunch

Great event a couple of weekends ago. We can't do what we do without all the people who serve in ministry here at Five Oaks. This was about celebration, inspiration and fun. I think we accomplished them all. Our Staff Leadership Team came up with this top ten list for the occasion. In case you missed it, here it is:
