Our first Service Saturday was a huge success! Thank you to all who came and helped! We're doing it again on December 6th and would love for you to join us! Come to the church from 9 am until noon for a hot, hearty breakfast and the chance to connect with your church family while doing some things to maintain and keep our church building ready for worship!

We invite all of our ladies to come and join us for our annual Christmas celebration! Come in your most comfy attire and share an evening of food, fun and fellowship, as we celebrate the beauty of the Advent season! Dinner will be provided, along with a yummy hot cocoa bar. Feel free to bring your favorite holiday treats to share!

As a part of our evening, we will also be collecting donations for our ministry partners at Streetside Showers. The most requested items right now are new men's underwear and socks, and gently used men's jackets and coats. Toiletries are also welcome.

Whether you regularly join us on Wednesday, have never been before, or are somewhere in between, just come! It will be a great time of meeting new friends and reconnecting with familiar faces. We hope to see you there!

Pin Oaks is in charge of the Salvation Army red bucket at the Anna Walmart on December 13th, and we need bell ringers! Sign up for a 1-hour slot that day and spread some Pin Oaks cheer.

During the school year, our high school students (9th-12th grade) meet for youth group on Sundays from 6:30 until 8:00 pm.

Our middle school students (6th-8th grade) meet for youth group on Wednesdays from 6:30 until 8:00 pm.

Starting January 4th, our middle schoolers will switch from meeting each Wednesday night to join our high schoolers on Sunday nights at 6:30 pm. Nicki, our Student Ministry Pastor, has worked out a schedule that allows them time together and times for separate age groups. We are excited to see how this switch helps our student ministry grow--both in numbers and in spiritual maturity.

We have a young adults small group with a mission to foster a Christ-centered
