Ministries Congregational Care Contacts

When a child is born to members of the congregation, the birth is listed in the worship service bulletin on Sunday and a rose is placed on the altar in honor of the child; an adorable lamb shaped sign in placed in the yard of the family announcing our newest addition to the flock. Contact Becky Peeler at the church 321-8500 or bpeeler@westendumc.org or her administrative assistant Julie Catterton at .
