OUTREACH & SERVICE TO OTHERS

Each  month the members of Community of Love Lutheran Church donate  specific food items,  some of which are not available from food banks, to Neighborhood Services.

Each year on SuperBowl (SOUPER BOWL) Sunday members of Community of Love distribute cans of soup which they have donated, to the residents of the 256 apartments at Luther House.

 Whether they are called Prayer Shawls, Comfort Shawls, Peace Shawls, or Mantles, etc., the shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way. Some recipients have continued their kindness by making a shawl and passing it on to someone in need. Thus, the blessing ripples from person to person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, mothering God.

  The Prayer shawls and lap robes are then distributed through Community of Love.

For information on how to join this group, request a prayer shawl for yourself, or be given to someon else, please call the church office at (610) 998-0282.

The members of Community of Love contribute Thanksgiving Dinners to help Oxford Area residents. In 2022, 25 Thanksgiving Dinners were delivered to Neighborhood Services for distribution.

Bingo has temporarily been suspended.

Twice per year, Spring and Fall, Community of Love members clean a two mile stretch of Route 472 south of Oxford, clearing trash and debris from the roadsides.
