FIRST Adventures is planning a special adventure to the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York from Wednesday, August 11, to Sunday, August 15 for all adults. There will be a variety of activities to choose from including hiking, canoeing, historical and nature attractions, shopping, and more. We'll also devote some time each evening for Christian study. The cost will be very reasonable. For more information call Rev. John Hice (248-541-4100) or email firstadventures@rofum.org. Visit firstadventures.wordpress.com to find out about other fun outdoor activities.
This series of classes is designed both for those who are new to the ROFUM (Royal Oak First United Methodist) community, as well as for those who are considering becoming full members of the church. "Faith and Church Exploration" will meet in our Parlor on five consecutive Sundays:
| Sept. 12 | 3-4 p.m. | |
| Sept. 19 | 9:15 a.m. | |
| Sept. 26 | 9:15 a.m. | |
| Oct. 3 | 9:15 a.m. | |
| Oct. 10 | 3-5 p.m. |
For those who choose membership upon completion of this class, reception into church membership will take place during our worship services on the weekend of October 16/17.
If you are interested in joining this class, please leave your name and phone number in the church office. Direct questions to Brian Wright or Rev. John Hice.
The Career Ministry of Royal Oak First United Methodist Church is designed to assist job seekers and others in career transition. The free-of-charge program is focused on providing career development resources, programs and networking opportunities to anyone in Royal Oak and the surrounding communities. People who are unemployed, under-employed (currently employed but looking for a new opportunity), potentially facing a forced transition and currently/happily employed will meet on Sunday afternoons at the church from 4-5:30 p.m.
The ongoing program includes small group discussions and networking, as well as skill-building mini-presentations on topics such as resume writing. The meetings are an open forum for participants to come on an "as needed" basis to share ideas, questions, and updates on their situation and progress if they so desire. The volunteer group includes several Human Resources professionals and participants from many industries who are willing to help job seekers learn about new possibilities for their career.
The Career Ministry group has experienced some landmarks of late. In February we recognized our one year anniversary! Then in March we hosted our most attended meeting with 14 individuals participating, ten of whom are not affiliated with our church. This was a bittersweet occurrence, as it is great that we are serving a need, but also unfortunate that the need is still so large. As such, we will continue to provide support, networking, and personal development to these individuals; we would also ask that you support them with prayer.
Dr. Thomas Moline, superintendent of Royal Oak Neighborhood Schools, will present "The Emerging Knowledge-Based Society." Come and enjoy fellowship and enlightenment along with a good breakfast.
A walk-through re-enactment of life in Bible times. Experience Bethlehem as we imagine it was on the day after Jesus' birth. The wise men (and a LIVE camel!) will greet you as you begin your journey back in time. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling marketplace and visit the holy family in the stable.
