Thanksgiving at THE OAKS

For several years in November, THE OAKS joins our Watts ministry in hosting a meaningful time of giving thanks with our inner-city friends. The Watts Family of Faith and Fellowship Church, planted by World Impact missionaries, brings busloads of people from their community to have time of growing as a church, being together as families and learning the true meaning of Thanksgiving!

The weekend is a valuable time for these guests to receive the love of God as leaders with this church and volunteers assist with the activities. There are powerful times of worship and teaching to strengthen this congregation. There are hayrack rides, games, adventure activities, crafts and recreation to provide something for everyone! Often families get to take a family picture and make a picture frame so that they have a tangible reminder of this special day.

Along with the turkey and dressing, there is always a time of sharing what Thanksgiving is really all about - that God does provide and we can be thankful! Many make a personal decision to grow in a relationship with God.

There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers to assist with the many aspects involved on this day of ministering God's love with people from the inner-city. call and come be a part of this weekend!
