Woodmont is a caring family of Christians continually growing in faith by: Seeking God, Sharing Love and Serving Others Visit www. tinyurl.com/WeAreWCC to watch We Are Woodmont and experience life with us. Volume 43, Issue 27 pg. 2 The Spire In August of 1959 when Woodmont was only 16 years old, church leadership made a very wise and visionary decision to purchase the house and three acres of land to the South of our property for a price of $65,000. There is no telling what that land is worth today were just glad we own it. This became known as South Hall and it has been used ever since for committee meetings, Bible studies, prayer groups, youth groups and a myriad of other things. Today, it serves as the HUB of our outreach ministries and it is cramped. South Hall has served as the home of The Nashville Food Project for the past five years, AA on Tuesday and Thursday nights for decades, and Room In the Inn from November through March since the mid 1980s. We have also used it to house visiting youth groups, mission teams, Disciples Classes, pre-marital seminars, pumpkin patches, and other special events. 1) The Nashville Food Project first came to Woodmont in January of 2009 and was called Mobile Loaves and Fishes at that time. The ministry grew and grew until it evolved into an independent non-profit The Nashville Food Project. We willingly house The Nashville Food Project rent free and we pay the bills. This is a partnership in which we take great pride and in which numerous Woodmont members and small groups serve on a regular basis. Its also a ministry that lives out daily what Jesus commands in Matthew 25: I was hungry and you gave me food. The mission of TNFP is to Bring people together to grow, cook, and share nourishing food with the goal of cultivating community and alleviating hunger in Nashville. TNFP serves roughly 700 meals per week to the homeless and working poor of our community at a cost of 25-30 cents per meal. Last year, we gleaned over 70,000 pounds of food from the community that would have otherwise gone to waste. There is a staff of nine plus interns and we welcome roughly 600 unique volunteers to our campus every month. 2) Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) saves lives. Anybody whose family has been affected by alcoholism or addiction knows this. Addiction seems to be on the rise in our culture, especially in affluent areas. We are proud to host one of the largest AA chapters in Nashville at South Hall and sometimes we will have over 100 people here on Tuesday and Thursday nights. This is a vital ministry. 3) Charlie Strobel, who is speaking at Woodmont this Wednesday, worked with four congregations to start Room in the Inn (RITI) back in December of 1986. By the end of that winter, 31 congregations had joined the effort and it went on to become a national ministry. Today there are over 180 congregations and close to 6000 volunteers in Middle Tennessee that make RITI happen, giving the homeless of our city a warm place to sleep and two warm meals during the cold winter months. Woodmont has always been proud to be a part of this ministry and South Hall is where it happens. We will begin a new RITI season in November and we are always needing volunteers to drive the bus, bring meals, and serve as overnight hosts. Contact Mary Kiger (maryhkiger@gmail.com) or April Gung (apirl.stevens320@ gmail.com) if you are interested in signing up. When we completed our strategic planning process earlier this year, the message we heard loud and clear from the congregation is that mission and outreach is our top priority and we want to see our outreach efforts continue to grow and expand. We also acknowledged that South Hall has become over-crowded there is a lot happening up there. So, since the first of the year, the Woodmont Board has been discussing the need to expand South Hall to keep up with and also enhance these growing ministries. Last week, the board passed a motion to move forward with a campaign this fall to raise the money to expand South Hall. There is great passion around this and it is going to happen. Multiple plans have been considered and discussed at length but the sketch below shows the plan that the board favors because it will enhance all three ministries and tie in nicely with the existing building. We are now finalizing construction numbers and those will be announced as soon as we have them. The bottom line is this is a doable campaign and we will raise the money to make it happen. As a missional church, what we do at South Hall lies at the heart of who we are as Christians and what we are about as a congregation. We should take great pride in these ministries, support them, and do whatever it takes to keep them going and growing. Stay tuned for more details on the South Hall campaign. I hope you will join me in making this important project happen!

Existing September 29th, 2014 The Spire pg. 3 There are works of art that invite us in and some that ask us to keep our distance and just look. I find myself easily lost in Mozarts Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K.466, mvt. II. The simplicity of the opening melody with its tonic-dominant seesawing pulls me into the work every time. Its clarity allows me to freely walk around inside and feel at home. The Valse de Chopin from Pierrot Lunaire by Arnold Schenberg is one of the latter for me. I love the work and this particular movement is less than 90 seconds long. While I am experiencing it, though, I do not find myself inside it. I am instead, standing outside looking, as if it were a painting on a museum wall. The emotional attachment I feel for the Mozart Romance is replaced with an intellectual understanding of what the text and music represents- an homage to the great Frdric Chopin. It is easy for us to fall into these categories. We can welcome others into our lives and allow them the freedom to feel at home. Unfortunately, we can also choose to erect a barrier that enables others just to politely see our outer shell. Lord, may we be more like kitchen tables and less like trinkets on a shelf. Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? (Luke 11:40). by Michael Graham Could You Wait Outside, Please?

Each Wednesday she opens the building at 5:45 am and prepares biscuits and cofee for three mens Bible classes. We have depended on her for those early morning WCC events and she rarely missed a morning even in inclement weather. Bev joined the Woodmont staf in June, 1986 and this past summer, celebrated her 31st anniversary with us. After being diagnosed with some health problems several months ago, she has decided to take early retirement. Beverlys last day will be October 23rd.
