During those years Murrie also served as treasurer of the UNCW Alumni Association Board of Directors from 1984-85, and then as its chair from 1987-88. Since his retirement from UNCW, Murrie has been active in lay ministry work in Wilmington and on behalf of his and Teresa's church, Trinity United Methodist Church. He participated in the NC Methodist-­led rescue and rebuilding efforts (18 trips over two years) in Biloxi, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina, and later in Marion, Iowa, after flooding; two days each week he serves as a volunteer, primarily with children with autism, at Snipes Academy of Arts & Design on Chestnut Street; he participates in the Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry (WARM).
