Share in Success of LCH Oxford United Methodist Church: Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m., the church, at 18 Addison St., Oxford, will host a community program with Laura Mackiewicz, director of Community Engagement for La Comunidad

Hispana, a diverse, bilingual team that is dedicated to helping adults, teens, and children to be healthy and stay healthy. Community members will hear an overview of what LCH does, then learn about some special programs that they can get involved in to further help care for LCH’s patients and clients. “Since opening their health center in Oxford, LCH has brought tremendous energy and hope to the community. And we are excited to partner with someone who is also in the lifechanging business!” says Rev. Mark Terry, Pastor of Oxford UMC. “Our congregation has been blessed to help with their book drive and school supply drive, and we’re looking forward to increasing our involvement, and inviting our neighbors to join us, as well.” Reservations are not required for the program.
