Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 7:25
We are hoping to begin In-person Worship services in small groups in February. As always, we’ll have other options for those who are unable to worship in-person. Be prayerful as we plan ways we can safely meet together.

In the next couple of weeks, ORUMC will be emailing 2020 Giving Statements to your email address that we have on file in Realm. Please contact the church office as soon as possible, if your email address needs to be updated.

We want you to stay connected with Oak Ridge UMC!

We have some great ways for you to get information about what’s happening at our church. You can visit our website to watch online services, see our latest announcements and upcoming events. 

We have announcement videos, Bible studies and Children’s devotions on our church YouTube channel. While viewing one of our videos make sure you click the subscribe button so that you will be notified each time we post something new. 

Another way to see all of our content is by checking out our Facebook page. And if you’re not receiving our Weekly Runner emails, contact the church office to get on our distribution list.

We know God is about reaching the lost, hurt and broken people.
We know Missions is a game changer when it comes to faith.
We know we will be apart of God’s mission this year…


Locally, internationally or both. Mission changes lives… starting with yours. Join us sending others on a team this year, and commit to being all in for Missions.


“In the military while you are waiting for your commanding officer to give the next command, you keep on working on the command you’ve been given, Matthew 28 tells us to go to all people and all nations sharing the good news, and making God’s love known,”
-Dee Hall chair of Missions

Tune in to the daily “Ridge View” and worship to hear how Dee got the Mission bug and what being partners with Pastor Andy in Guatemala was like!

UMM SCHOLARSHIPS 2021

For more years than I can remember, I have been coordinating the UMM scholarship process. I would like for another man to step forward and take over this job. I can train anyone who might be interested, and it would not hurt to have multiple men trained to assist in the process. As the Coordinator, you will not be eligible to vote, but you will update and organize posting the application forms, collect the forms, assign ID codes, and recruit a team of volunteer men to evaluate and vote on award winners, and tally the votes.

If you are willing to train for this job, please contact Bob Yarbrough at bobyarb@gmail.com.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Daughters of the King Valentine Tea

Women 55 & over widows and single - you are invited! Things will look different this year because of COVID, but we still want to celebrate you!

We will have a drive-thru event on Sunday, February 14th, floating 1pm-2pm at ORUMC covered entrance. Marvelous Moms Discipleship Group will greet you from your car & you will receive a special Care Package. 

Please RSVP to Bev Miller (Director of Guest & Volunteer Ministries) at the church 336-643-4690 ext. 220 by Feb. 3rd if you would like to participate. RSVP is very important to ensure we have enough gifts. Make note - if our church service is in-person on that day we will distribute packages immediately after the traditional service.
