A Long Cold Lonely Winter by Thom Schuyler, Director of College, Young Adults, Missions & Outreach
Many of you will recognize the words that comprise the title of this modest post as a quote from a Beatlessong:HereComestheSun.Morespecifically,itwascomposedandsungbyGeorgeHarrison, perhapsthe quietestBeatlebutinmy humbleopinion,thesteadyheartbeatoftheFab Four.Thissong has always lifted my spirits no matter the time of year or my state of mind. Its impossible for me to hear that mesmerizing acoustic guitar pattern, that infectious melody, those pristine harmonies and that positive lyric withoutturningitupandsingingalong.AsIsitherethismorning(Monday,March3rd)thissong,onceagain,isworking its good deed in my soul and spirit. (I just listened to six different versions onyoutube). As much as I love winter I am veryreadyforthisonetorelinquishitsgripandmakeroomforspring2014.Mayitsoonbeso! Humankind has been reflecting upon the miracle and value of the seasons since we first began to communicate. They each offer their unique characteristics and accomplish their essential tasks. Remove one of the four yes, even winterandlifeonthisplanetwouldbeunbearable,ifnotimpossible.Further,theseasonsparallelthepatternsofour lives and offer us profound insights into that which we encounter on this earth. This is not limited to the arc of a life time. We will each experience a taste of the four seasons at many given moments throughout the course of our lives: thearrivalofnewlife(spring),thesheerjoyofliving(summer),thechangesthatcontinuetoconfrontus(autumn)and theinevitableheartacheofmourning(winter). This very week we begin the pensive and solemn journey toward Resurrection Day. Between now and Easter morning many churches Woodmont certainly included prepare services and special gatherings that encourage be lievers to gaze inward and examine ourselves. These are very personal endeavors, both demanding and difficult. Whensomeofuslookinsideweencounteralandscapethatmaybedescribedasalongcoldlonelywinter.Buttake heart:Herecomesthesun xothom

Farmer's Market season is around the corner NOW imagine a Farmer's Market coming to Woodmont!
Imagine receiving a box of delicious fresh, in-season vegetables and meats every Sunday from May to October - delivered right to the WCC parking lot! Now imagine what ends up on your table helps support local farmers, earth friendly sustainable farming practices, AND the Nashville Food Project! Avalon Acres, a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) operation, will make WCC a new weekly stop if at least 10 people/families sign up for this growing season (May 4 to Oct. 26). For every ten customers, they will donate one free package to the Nashville Food Project. (Any packages not picked up on a given week also will be donated to NFP). Packages (boxes) of fresh seasonal vegetables start at $27 per week. Local meat, eggs, cheese and bread can be added for an additional cost. You must sign up and commit to the 26 week season to receive the packages. Multiple people/families can share a package if desired. For more information (including to request a specific dropoff time) contact Sarah Drury (sarahcampbelldrury@gmail.com or 383-6551) or see the Avalon Acres website at www.avalonacres.com . Deadline to get WCC added as a stop is March 5.

Room In the Inn

Woodmont volunteers have provided a great experience for our Room In the Inn guests this year. People have gone above and beyond in responding to emergency needs, volunteering on our regular Friday nights and donating clothing. We are grateful that Boy Scout Troop 92 will serve on March 7th, as that gives our Woodmont members a respite for the week. We are in need, however, for overnight hosts to help on Friday, March 14th and Friday, March 21st. In this season of Lent, when we remember the sacrifice that Christ made for each of us, what better way to honor Him than to sacrifice our time in service to others?
