Methodists Break Ground For Church

Shovels broke ground for the Westwood Lake Methodist Church recently and occupancy is expected by Easter. About 100 persons attended the groundbreaking ceremonies Dec. 17 at the site on Miller Dr. and 109th Ave., estimated the Rev. P. M. Boyd, district superintendent of Methodist Churches in South Florida. Church Sponsor Reverend Boyd said the First Methodist Church of Coral Gables is sponsoring the new church and has given it $20,000 to start construction underway. Robert H. Hines, 11001 SW 56th St., is pastor of the new church, which was started by Nick Gatanis and Henry Hezel in Dec., 1959. "It's a wonderful experience," beamed Reverend Hines as he spoke of the dream come true of his 80-member congregation having their own church. "The people are certainly responding and they're very enthusiastic about getting a church of their own." Growth Anticipated "And we're anticipating a great deal of growth when we do move in." Reverend Hines pointed out that four more buildings are planned after present construction has ended on the first unit. Though the congregation is now meeting in Cypress Elementary School, they'll soon have their own sanctuary, two educational buildings and administrative offices. Westwood Lake Methodist Church draws most of its congregation from the various housing developments in that area, said Reverend Hines. The Congregation The pastor said that much of his congregation comes from Westwood Lakes, Westwood Estates and Heftler Southwest. Reverend Boyd, largely responsible for starting Methodist churches in this area and though South Florida, said he was "very happy" about the new church. "We're placing these churches in these developments where we feel there's a need for a church and a Sunday School. ". . . And we're very glad to be a part of the Lord's kingdom in bringing these churches here."

The Cardiac Hospital cares for children with heart malfunctions free of charge. It is not part of the United Fund.
