OOMA Info |
OOMA
is a loose-knit ministers association, no “membership” or dues. In 1990’s pastors in Oxford/Orion started
meeting to have fellowship, just to get to know each other. Over the years we have started doing a few
things together: National Day of
Prayer, Good Friday Service, and Thanksgiving, with offerings taken for local
ministries: Love INC, Pregnancy
Center, F.I.S.H.
We
are also sometimes involved with the Oxford HS Baccalaureate Service. ·
F.I.S.H. – Good Friday ·
Problem Pregnancy Center – National Day of Prayer ·
