Take Five | Mini Retreat - Managing Your Inner Fixer
Are you an asker or a teller? If you are a teller this week's thought is for you, and if your an asker, it is as well. The skill we look at this week, of holding space and making the person you are with the complete focus of your attention, is a gift you can give anyone you love and serve! And, it requires slowing down.

Take Five | Mini Retreat (Acedia: Help for the Weary Soul)
COVID has been an incredibly wearying time even if you kept your job! So many routines were re-invented and change was thrust upon us. Every time we ducked out of our front door, we were forced to confront our safety and mortality. Now is the time to recover, renew and restore our weary soul.
The Time Is N.O.W. | We Can Do it together | Save The Oaks

5/8/2021 —Video update from Sean McFeely
Here’s an update from Sean McFeely on his fruitful trip to So-Cal. Watch Sean’s update here:
Take 5 | A Mini Retreat (Presence and Silence)
Quiet. Just listening. Being present with God. Can you imagine?
Our “quiet times” are often filled with “activity”. Reading. Studying. Writing. Reflecting. All good things! But how often do our “quiet times” involved quiet, worship filled, acknowledgement of God?
I encourage you to Take 5 | A Mini-Retreat. Consider creating some “Presence and Silence” time in your week. Draw closer to Jesus and experience the deep restoration God describes in Psalm 23:1 “…he restores my soul.”
May 2021 - Save The Oaks Campaign Update
Get up to speed on all the updates with Save The Oaks Camp. Much has been happening through the month of April!
Take 5 | Mini Retreat (Morning Coffee, Morning Communion)
A few unhurried minutes. We all relish the peace found in those moments. Why not “Take 5” for some unhurried moments of soul restoration?
These reflections found in the 5 minute read below had a deep impact on me – and it just took 5 minutes of quiet to read and reflect. Our deep desire is for you to draw closer to Jesus and experience the deep restoration God describes in Psalm 23:1 “…he restores my soul.”
