What’s Going On At West Side

The tags are on the Christmas tree and ready for you to select one or more than one! We are so excited that we will be able to help to make a memorable Christmas for two families in our local area of Washtenaw County as well as stocking stuffers for the children at Alpha House. Your unwrapped gifts will be due back at West Side UMC by Sunday, December 15th.

The Delonis Center, in downtown Ann Arbor, provides temporary shelter for men and women experiencing homelessness. At Christmas small personal items are welcomed by the people that Delonis serves. The following is a list of new items: scarves, hats, gloves, socks, underwear, toothpaste and toothbrushes, wash cloths, small towels, soap, and hand and foot warmers, etc. A red box labeled "Delonis Center Collection" is located near the entry for these unwrapped gifts. The collection will extend thru Sunday, Dec. 29. Thank you for prayerfully considering contributing your thoughtful items to people in need. Questions:

No Homework! No book to purchase. Just bring a Bible.

We will meet on three Wednesdays in December. The 4th, the 11th and the 18th. Join us around the fireplace for lively discussion and fellowship. We meet at 10:30-11:30 AM.
