Give Me Your Hand

Join us for one combined Westwood UMC worship gathering as we celebrate Christmas in joyful worship as the children retell this sacred story. With music from our Loft Band, and on our Sanctuary organ, we invite you to celebrate this holy day in our beautiful sanctuary. This Sunday, our children share the Christmas story in scripture with their presence, as we celebrate the gifts of Emmanuel, God with us. "Give me your hand" might seem counter to how we usually respond to fear, but what if fear can result in connection instead of isolation? We don't live out our callings in isolation—our communal flourishing depends on each person stepping into their calling despite their fear. How can we offer support to one another? When do we need to accept an outstretched hand? And can we use our power and privilege to stand in solidarity with people whose lives are at risk? Sunday, December 21, 2025 Rev. Molly Vetter
