Annual
Service Projects
 CROP WalkChrist the Redeemer hosts the
Lake Orion/Oxford CROP Walk as we unite with area
churches in a common goal of providing for those
in need. The needs vary across the world. Money
supports long term needs such as water, or
agricultural development as well as short term
disaster relief provided by a variety of church
organizations. 20% stays in our own community.
In the past, the walk
has started at Christ the Redeemer and goes
through Orion Oaks park and returns back to
Christ the Redeemer. A 1 1/2 mile walk is also
available. Walk with our family, friends, and a
few hundred of your neighbors.

 Dinner DonationsIn the past, our local food
pantry, Oxford/Orion FISH will once again feed
our hungry by supplying needy families with a
complete Thanksgiving meal. There are three ways
to  donate:
- Cash donation
- Purchase a gift
card to Meijer or Kroger for meat and
perishable items.
- Purchase
non-perishable items for a family to
prepare dinner.

Giving Tree
Giving trees are
located in the vestibule. Tags hung from
the tree designate gift ideas and age of  recipient. In the past we
have assisted individuals from
Lighthouse, Children’s Village and
St. Dominics Outreach
Center in Detroit.
Tags for
Lighthouse and St. Dominic also have food
items listed to help stock the food
pantry.
