WHAT’S HAPPENING AT FAIR OAKS?

Join us for our next quarterly prayer meeting on Pentecost Sunday, where we’ll be gathering together like the first Christians and asking Jesus to do another mighty work through His Spirit in this valley in our day. * There will be no childcare for this meeting but kids are welcome and encouraged to join us!
+ Congregational Meeting | Sunday, May 26, 11:15-11:45am
Join us after service next week for an exciting update about the future of youth ministry at Fair Oaks Church! Even if you don't have youth-age children, if you consider Fair Oaks your home, we encourage you to be at this meeting, as this is an important update that will affect our life as a family on mission for Jesus.
+ How To Read the Bible Class | Sunday, May 26, 11:30am-1pm
For those who are signed up for the Bible reading class, please note: we've moved it back by 30 minutes to make it so everyone can attend the congregational meeting. And if you’re not yet signed up, it's not too late to join us. Sign up today!

This summer, we're headed out for an overnight adventure in Novato. Click here to learn more.
Sermon Notes
Romans #15: The Struggle With Sin (Romans 7:1-25)
You are more sinful than you think you are. (vv. 1-6)
You are not alone in your struggle. (vv. 7-17)
Christ is with us in our struggles. (vv. 18-25)
Response
After the sermon, we take some time in our service to reflect on and respond to the work of the Spirit in our lives. Here's 3 ways you can do that.
1. Prayer (for everyone)
Whatever stuff has come up for you today, you were not made to navigate this alone. Let us know how we can pray for you and support you as you seek to respond to the work of the Spirit this week!
2. Communion (for followers of Jesus)
Communion is a powerful way we can remember the gospel and rest in the finished work of Jesus.
3. Give (for those who call Fair Oaks home)
Giving is a great way for our hearts to respond to God’s generosity toward us and to help more people meet Jesus. Learn more.
