Women's Fellowship Ministry
The Women's Fellowship Ministry is for the
purpose of edification of women of all ages through the example set
forth in Titus 2: 3-5 of older women and their relationship with younger
women. The Women's Fellowship is not just a social group.
It's a group where "the rubber meets the road". This ministry
includes events centered around spiritual and fellowship themes.
Some of these events include Saturday morning breakfasts, shopping
trips, Easter Communion Breakfast, Christmas Dinner, Mother-Daughter
Banquet and Women of Faith Conferences. In this fast paced world
where our extended family may live miles away, the Women's Fellowship
fills the need of being a mother, daughter, or sister to each other. For
additional information, please contact the church office at
269-3678 or email
oumc@atlanticbb.net.

Liturgical Dance Team
One of Oakland's newest ministries is the
Liturgical Dance Team. The OUMC team was formed after being
inspired by another local dance group called "Tapestry of Praise".
The Dance Team, led by Darlene Bain, perform at worship services
throughout the year and add to the movement of the Holy Spirit during
the services. This important part of worship has been well
received by those attending OUMC and have since inspired a new group to
be formed called "Little Praise Dancers". If you are interested in being
considered for the Liturgical Dance Team, please contact the church
office at 269-3678
or email
oumc@atlanticbb.net.

This newly named group, A.S.K. seeks to encourage,
unite and mobilize Christian women of the world to pray and fast for the

adopted from Matthew 7:7. "Ask and it will be given to you; Seek
and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you. A.S.K. is
one part of the Women's Ministry at OUMC. The
Scriptural foundation of this ministry is Acts 16 which
