BE PART OF DISTRIBUTING FOOD ON FRIDAY MORNINGS
I have been asked what is it like to help distribute food. On the third Friday of each month The church parking lot is like a Farmer's Market. From 9 to 11am, people stop and select fresh food for their tables. We meet our neighbors and hear their stories. Many of the volunteers have gotten to know individuals and look forward to seeing them each month. Please join the church members at 8:45am on May 17th and I guarantee, you will feel good about yourself and Live Oak Church.
Thank you, Tim Buckley

Faith Development
Here's what you need
to know this week!
Upcoming Adult RE
Summer
Musings on the Message will begin on June 9. Each Sunday at 11 AM you are invited to join a discussion on the worship message in Room 109. These conversations are not a critique of the service, but a chance to reflect on how the message spoke to you, and what challenged you or comforted you in your faith development journey.
Please remember that we are seeking input regarding Adult Faith Formation programming as we begin to plan for next fall. Please take a moment and complete the survey found
here. Thanks for your help.
Children & Youth
This Sunday is our congregational meeting at 11 AM. In order for our teachers and advisors to attend the meeting, we will not be having regular RE classes this Sunday. Children 6 and under are welcome to join the PreK staff for free play. Older children and youth are encouraged to either attend the meeting to witness our congregational polity in action (related to this month's theme) or to assist in setting up for 'Fed and Informed.' If they will be helping with set-up, please sign them in at the table in the Fellowship Hall. Carrie will be there to meet them and get things organized!
Summer RE Leaders sign-up is now available, and we need lots of helpers! Don't forget that youth are encouraged to sign up to help lead as well! See the poster in the Narthex, or sign up online at
Books and Cooks.
Please consider how you can support faith development by joining one of our teaching or advising teams. The more the merrier, you make friends, support the growth of children and youth and even grow some yourself!
