"Generosity, Service, and Gratitude: A Recipe for Happiness" February 28, 2016

Chaplain Mark Newton

The gift of service to others is an expression of generosity deserving of affirmation and gratitude by its beneficiaries.

Contributions to the service will be offered by Westside's President, Viveca Monahan, and member Joan Whitley.
