OCCUMC SMALL GROUPS

The OCCUMC Youth Group is for anyone in grades 6 through 12 (inclusive). You do not need to be a member of any church to join. We meet monthly in the Youth Room (L5&7) for faith-building discussion, fellowship outings, and service to others. We are always ready to welcome newcomers!

Tabitha Circle

All Women are invited to join Tabitha Circle for any of our events. 

We usually meet the 2nd Sunday at 2pm for devotion and Christian fellowship.  Sometimes we meet at a different day or time to accommodate tours or other special events. Some meetings are online so we can meet with our friends who are not close by while other meetings are in person.

Sarah Circle  

The Sarah Circle  usually meet on the 3rd Thursday in the library at church, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30. Our meetings include Bible study, sfellowship, and planning events that support our mission of helping women and children in the wider community.  Our mission projects include layettes for newborns at Aurora Sinai, La Causa and Sixteenth Street clinic, and the sock ministry which benefits Northcott Neighborhood House. 

Women who are part of the UWF Reading Program meet before the meeting at 9:30 a.m. to share and recommend books they have read and enjoyed.  

All women are invited to join our meetings and events.

The United Women of Faith (UWF) is an established tradition in the United Methodist Church with over 100 years of funding and organizing mission work impacting women and children throughout the world.  Together both circles participate with hand-on mission projects to benefit our local community and international concerns.

Each UWF circle pledges a monetary amount for the year in addition to money raised through fundraisers.

The Oak Creek unit supports many local non-profit groups such as: The Salvation Army, The United Methodist Children’s Services, 16th St. Community Health Center, Senior & Junior mission trips, Adult mission trips, Layette Project, Prayer Shawls and baptismal blankets.

The Oak Creek unit also contributes to the district mission which in turn provides services to local charities and internationally to fight crimes such as sex-trafficking and exploitation.

Join this group that meets after worship service  Sunday morning to discuss current headlines and how they connect with the scripture. (L28 / 30)

The Going to Pieces fabric artists group is always busy. Our membership is very diverse in interests and ability. Below is a list of some of our major activities: 

· We make baby blankets, quilts, and receiving blankets for our Church's layette project. 

· We sell the items that we make at the annual autumn Oak Creek Community Art Faire. 100% of the proceeds we make goes back to the church for projects and updates. 

We make donations to the baptismal gifts and church auction, and have led an annual matching donation event that goes to the Salvation Army. 

We welcome anyone interested in having fun with their creative talents..  

The Merry Mat Makers meet at 4pm on Tuesdays except on Cathedral dates. 

We are collecting bags again for the sleeping mats. We're asking for thicker ones only (Festival, Menards, Sendik's, Kwik Trip, Target), as the thin ones break easily. We love bright colored bags. And as always the bags need to be clean, dry and empty of all contents. Flattened bags are especially appreciated.

 The Blooming Garden team maintains the flowers and the sitting area around the main north entrance.

In 2020 we developed a sitting area in memory of a church member. This sitting area is for anyone to  spend time in prayer and enjoy our gardens.  We invite you to come and sit in the sitting area to relax, and pray. 

A few years ago we planted several gardens in the north parking lot islands and main entrance. They were new and small but today they are thriving and extremely beautiful through several seasons. Our gardens are maintained by church volunteers.  We welcome anyone interested in helping keep our little church on the hill, beautiful.
