Hi. We hope you enjoy catching up!
Welcome and thank you for joining us. If this is your first time at The Oak, hello, we hope you enjoy our time together today.
Our plan today is to start by worshipping together (song words will be on-screen). After that, there'll be a time of prayer and news, followed by a short talk.
There are materials on this page for our 0-3's (The Nest), Preschool to Year 6 (Treehouse) and Year 7+ (Oak Youth) to help the whole family grow together.
Happy Sunday, see you at 10.30am!

The NestParables Week 2
0-3's
We are currently learning about some of the stories that Jesus told. We can read about these in the Bible and they each show us how much God loves us and how we can be more like Him.
Verse ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.’ Jeremiah 31v3
Book The story this week is ‘The Ten Silver Coins’ from Stories Jesus Told by Nick Butterworth and Mick Inkpen (see link here). If you don’t have a copy of this book then have a look at this video of the story (see the video here) or have a look in your Bible at Luke 15v8-10.
Songs God's love is big - Guess what, God loves you - When I look - The wise man built his house (see the videos here).
Activity Coin rubbing. Put some coins underneath a piece of paper and using crayons rub over the coins to create an image of them on the paper. You could try to do ten coins like in the story or even draw a purse on the paper and put nine inside it and one outside to represent the lost coin.
Another way to do this activity is to use a sheet of tin foil with coins underneath. Your child can then do a rubbing with just their fingers to show the coins details through the foil.
As you do either or both of these coin rubbings remind your child that Jesus says ‘We are like the woman’s silver coins, God wants every single one of us’.

This will be our penultimate session at Oak Youth. We will be finishing the Youth Alpha series with a session called 'Telling Others'.
We'll be looking at how and why it is important to tell others about the Christian faith and what that looks like in our own lives.
Have a read of the verses below and think about how you can tell others about a loving God who cares for His creation and wants to have a relationship with each of us.
Matthew 28:19-20
Acts 1:8
Matthew 5:16
John 13:34-35
John 3:36
