Welcome to Christmas Eve at West End UMC!
We are so glad you are here! 
 

Please let us know you are here by registering your attendance here.

There are two special offerings we have in the month of December. You can give online at westendumc.org/give: 

• Advent Special Offering - Lunches for Hope
  This year’s Advent Offering will go to the Lunches for Hope Program in the Dassa-Zoume region of Benin, Africa. The funds will be used by former West End member Hilarion Vegba who worshiped and studied with us when he was enrolled in a program at Vanderbilt. Thirty girls will receive lunch five days a week for nine months of school. Before this program, girls without this lunch money asked for the money from men who took advantage of their situation. West End funded this program last year and there was a dramatic decrease in girls dropping out of school, early pregnancy and trafficking. Our goal is $10,800 which will fully fund lunches for two years. You can give online at westendumc.org/give or by check with “Advent Special Offering” in the memo line.
   
• December Communion Offering // Pastor's Discretionary Fund
  Our December offering will go towards the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund, which is one pot of money we use to help people with their mortgage, rent, utilities, and bus fare to get back home. Your generosity to this fund in December is what we use to budget for the upcoming year.
