Donations
We appreciate your generosity to the parish at Christmas each year,
enabling us to carry out the ministry of Jesus here in Westlake!

We also include a special "flower offering" envelope for those who would like
to help finance our purchase of poinsettias and other Christmas plants to decorate our church.

Finally, if you would like to sponsor on of our church's Christmas wreaths for $25,
perhaps in memory of a loved one, we will put both names on the wreath's ornament as it adorns
our worship space - be sure to print both names clearly for us to copy,
and then please drop off your request and donation at the rectory.
