Westwood United Methodist Church has an alternative Christmas giving opportunity called Scattered for Service. “Scattered for Service provides the opportunity for you to give a gift to the special people in your life that allows support of important missions in the community and the world. The gift will come with an acknowledgment card from you, and the ministry/agency will receive your financial support for use as directed.” The catalog is available on the website at www.westwoodumc.org.
