Advent Celebration, December 16 

 Children's Pageant during  10 am service.   Then join us for a  Potluck of your   traditional or favorite Christmas   Finger Food Treat,  cards to sign for our   homebound or moved away, and a couple of   Advent crafts for children.  A fun event for   you, your family, friends and neighbors.
 


2nd Annual Christmas Sing-a-Long & Concert: Mark your calendars for Saturday evening December 22!   



If you're having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit your OUMC Worship Team has the cure.  There will be a soup dinner provided at 5:00 and about an hour of Christmas music in the sanctuary.  We 
will  be playing some classics, some modern songs and at least one song I guarantee 
you've  never heard before.  

This is a free event but any donations you would like to give will go towards the church retreat at Ocean Park.
