NEWS FROM ORUMC
6/23/2022
Dear Oak Ridge Church Family,

We had a great Father’s Day celebration on Sunday with the Riden family joining our church and we’re thrilled to be welcoming another family this Sunday.

God is doing a lot of exciting things here at Oak Ridge UMC. The youth are flying to Denver Sunday morning for their mission trip. As you are leaving the worship service, I’ll have a basket with every person’s name who is participating in the Youth Mission trip. Please take a youth’s name, or a Youth Leaders name, to pray over them while they are in Denver. What a privilege and honor to have this opportunity to take our Youth and their leaders to the Lord in prayer!

Also, please pray about giving beyond your tithes and offerings to support our Mission Team Fees. The cost to fly has increased significantly, for example, the flight to Denver was over budget by over $3000 due to the recent rise in flight costs. This is the last Sunday of the month to give towards this particular Mission of the Month. We need your support. 

It’s time to sign up your children for Vacation Bible School! Helpers are also needed; please sign up to serve at VBS as a changemaker. July 11-14

I look forward to seeing you all Sunday as we come together to worship God with all our heart, mind, body, and soul. 

Take care and God Bless,

Pastor Mike

Special Presentation - Our Partners in Guatemala 

Help us welcome Lourdes Ramirez Mroczka (Lulu), VIM Guatemala Coordinator, and her husband Rich for a special presentation on July 10. They will speak briefly at both services and will have a more in depth presentation during the 10:00 o'clock hour in the Fellowship Hall.

VIM Guatemala is a branch of the National Primitive Evangelical Methodist Church in Guatemala. They are important partners in the Guatemala Stove and Water Filter ministry. Our teams raise the necessary funds for the ministry and provide some of the work while we are there. Without our teams and the funds raised, there is no ministry. There is much work and preparation before our teams arrive and critical follow-up training and support after our teams leave. Without the work of the church leadership in the local communities there is no ministry. Through the partnership the ministry flourishes as lives are changed, lives are saved and souls are saved. 

Our teams enjoy the warmth and love of the Guatemalan people when we go there and serve on teams. Please plan to be there July 10 to give a warm welcome to Lulu and Rich.
 
Thanks,

Northwest High School
Parent Teacher Student Organization
The NWHS PTSO needs a lot of help moving teachers back into their mobiles in July. They have set up a signup genius for people to see available times and days. We have five 56’ FedEx trailers and two pods to empty back into 23 mobile units. Many hands make light work! All high school students will receive volunteer hours for their time. Please consider helping us move! It will be a lot of work and definitely warm. But the biggest warmth will be our hearts as we all walk away knowing that as a community, we have done all that we can!

July 14th through July 16th, 9am to 2pm each day

Meet in the big parking lot between the mobiles and the tennis courts
