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 worshiping together with one of our worship leaders (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 NestNoah’s Ark Week 4
0-3's
This week we are going to be learning about how Noah looked after and fed all the animals on the ark.
Verse ‘Noah did everything just as God commanded him.’ Genesis 6v22
Book Noah’s Ark by Lucy Cousins (see link here). If you don’t have a copy of this book (or any other Noah’s Ark story book) then have a look at this video of the story (see the video here).
Songs The animals went in two by two - Who built the ark - All through history - Deep, deep, deep - Praise the Lord (see the videos here).
Activity 1 Talk about how Noah would have fed the animals in the ark. Use this sheet (see link here) to talk about the different food animals eat. Cover and reveal the answers as you go.
Activity 2 Using some plastic animals and soapy sponges, let your child wash and clean the animals. You could also let them dry them with a towel afterwards. Talk about how Noah looked after the animals while they were all on the ark.
Treehouse4 points - Jesus Died for Me - Week 3
Preschool - Year 6
Check out the video for this week's TEAM CHALLENGE - Eat the Doughnut and for the session.
Today we will be learning about the 3rd point - Jesus Died for Me!
Welcome back to Treehouse, the third of the 4 Points is “Jesus died for me.” Jesus died on the cross so that we can be set free from sin.
Our sin had separated us from God because He is perfect and can only be around perfect things.
The third point is probably one of the most well-known facts in the history of Man Kind.
What’s important to realise is the penalty for sin is death, separation from God both now and forever.
The bible says we have all sinned, and we all deserve to die. But God who is full of love and mercy, sent Jesus to come and die in your place.
When Jesus died we made a way for us to spend eternity with God.
How awesome is that!
Questions:
1. What does it mean to you that Jesus died for you?
2. Do you believe it? Why/why not?
3. What does this news make you want to do?
4. How does this news make you feel about Jesus?
WORSHIP:
Let's spend some time worshiping, together as a family turn it up and have a dance. Worship is powerful, so let's really go for it!
All the worship songs can be found on the youtube playlist - Treehouse songs, you can find this in the family resources section - Stories and songs
ACTIVITIES:
- Can you use your water colours to create a background, each colour could represent a mood that Jesus would have been feeling? Feel free to use other colours you have in your house. Then cut out a cross and stick your cross on the top. At the bottom write – Jesus died for me.
- Have a go at drawing a cross and sticking or writing some ideas you came up with of sins that you can give to Jesus.
- Complete the maze … from start to finish. Make your way through the cross and out the other side. The cross is at the centre of everything.
