CURRENT & UPCOMING EVENTS
Advent and Christmas Eve at WUMC
So often, we are focused on the destination in our travels. “Where are you going?” is the most common question when someone is heading out. But while the destination may inspire the journey, it’s often the experiences along the way—both challenging and joyful—that we remember most. This Advent season, we’ll reflect not just on the destination of Christmas, but on the milestones along the way—the progress and the potholes that shape our hearts On the Way to Bethlehem.
Join us Sundays at 11:00 AM as we prepare for the birth of the one who changed the world.

Christmas and the Blues
December 19, 2024 7pm
The holidays can be a difficult time, and it’s okay to feel blue when the world around you is celebrating. Sometimes, acknowledging those feelings and sitting with them can be a meaningful part of the season.
At Westlake UMC, we invite you to Christmas & the Blues—an evening of soulful blues music and heartfelt storytelling. Together, we’ll share honest stories about navigating the holidays when joy feels out of reach, finding comfort and strength through shared experiences.
This free event also offers an opportunity to make a donation benefiting Wonders & Worries, a nonprofit providing professional support to children and teens facing a parent’s serious illness. Westlake UMC will double every donation. After the event, stay for a warm cookie reception hosted by Vik Complete Care of Westlake.

Wednesday Evening Pickleball
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.
