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

·         Love INC – Thanksgiving service
