Answering God's call to serve His people, OXFUMC, graciously and lovingly supports our community through ministries designed to include those seeking and searching.
Our Visitation Ministry Team makes visits on the second and forth Tuesdays of each month. We begin at 9:30am and go until about 1:00pm. The team provides encouragement, fellowship, and prayer with those who are shut-in, sick and lonely.
On visitation days we meet in the TMMC Parlor at 9:30 am to prepare for our visits.
Check the schedule on our church calendar.
Do you know of someone that would like to be included on our list to be visited?
Please help this ministry by letting us know.
We are looking for a few more people to join our visitation team.
If you are interested in this ministry please call the church office for more information.
Your life will be enriched each time you visit our shut-ins.

Bag Day
Each year during November grocery bags and a list of needed food items are provided for the congregation. The filled bags are brought back and placed on the altar on "Bag Day".
A prayer is said over the bags of food that they will be used to God's glory and be a blessing to those in need.

Sweetly Reaching Out at Christmas
As a branch of our Soup for the Soul team, Sweetly Reaching Out At Christmas supports our local first responders, the congregation provides baskets of home baked goods to those serving the community on Christmas. Baskets are hand delivered directly following our Christmas Eve church service.
We invite all to participate by donating home-made cookies, candies, and other sweet finger foods to those working on Christmas Eve.
On Wednesday, December 24, 2025, please drop off your tasty "pre-packaged" goodies in the TMMC before or after the Christmas Eve service. Please prepare enough for seven deliveries. The Soup for the Soul team will make deliveries to our hometown heroes after the Christmas Eve Service.
As always, thank you for your continued love and support. Please keep us all in your prayers.
