Behind the Scenes

Hi Five Oakers: Here are some of the things going on behind the scenes at Five Oaks:

// Kids Praying/Playing: Two Mondays a month, that what kids (9-12) gather to do, praying for the prayer requests of other kids from the weekends, and having some fun together. It's the brainchild of one of the kids themselves.

// North Woods: That's where a group of current 6th-7th graders will go this summer as a new "Milestones" experience. Signups are going on right now for that and for two youth mission trips.

// Personal Notes: The "Written Word" Invite team starts writing personal notes to first-time Five Oaks guests starting next week.

// Twenty-seven: That's how many people are participating in chronological Bible reading plan with me. It's an experiment of sorts. Invitation were only for people who have done the SOG class with me. Next year we'll consider going bigger on this. One of the best parts is the Facebook group interaction that goes along with this. If this interests you, be looking to join us in 2016.

// Twenty-eight: That's how many are already signed up for the winter Story of God session. That's the most we've ever had at this point in the registration process.

// Tru Coming: To our church for the Twin Cities Tru gathering (that's the curriculum we use with our kids in Sunday school).
