Sharing Christ’s love through hands-on service and heartfelt giving

This year marks the 27th year of Christmas In October (CIO) at Westlake United Methodist Church! For nearly three decades, our church family has come together each fall to bless our neighbors, both near and far, with gifts of service, compassion, and generosity. CIO has become one of the most cherished traditions in our community — a time when we prepare for the season of giving by ensuring no one feels forgotten at Christmas.

Recent flooding along the Guadalupe, Llano, Concho, and San Gabriel Rivers has devastated communities across central Texas. Families have lost homes, livelihoods, and loved ones. Westlake UMC is responding with prayer, supplies, and hands-on support—and we invite you to join us.

🧰 Get Trained to Join the Early Response Team (ERT)

We're transitioning our pickleball scheduling from online sign-ups to open play! This allows you to drop in and play with others present at the time. Should there be more players than available courts, simply place your paddle on the table. After each game, the winning team remains but splits, and the next two players in line join in for the next game. We're removing the online sign-up feature, so feel free to come by on Wednesdays, anytime between 6 and 8PM to join in the fun.
