Get Into the Christmas Spirit! by Rev. Clay Stauffer, Senior Minister
Advent season here at Woodmont. It takes a lot of work and volunteers to build the village and to put it on, but it's always worth it! Around 7000 people will come and experience what it was like in Bethlehem of Judea at the time when Christ was born. If you've never been a part of this wonderful event, it will blow you way. Remember, there will be special Christmas music and readings in the sanctuary on the hour beginning at 3:00 p.m. Saturday, December 14th at 7:00 p.m. Carols at the Bridge in Drowota Hall. The Bridge band and other Woodmont artists will sing our favorite Christmas songs and carols. This has become a new tradition. Sunday, December 15th at 11:00 a.m. Come and hear the chancel choir and orchestra perform significant portions of Bethlehem by Thom McHugh and Charlie Daniels. "Carols for Cancer" will be that afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go. We have now entered the season of Advent. It happened fast! Christmas Day is THREE WEEKS away! In the sermon Sunday morning, I said that for as long as I can remember, I have always loved Christmas and everything that comes with it! I love the energy, the spirit, the decorations, the lights, the Christmas music, special services, Walk Thru Bethlehem, classic movies like Christmas Vacation and It's A Wonderful Life, parties, celebrations, families and friends coming together, rereading the birth narratives, and seeing the smiles on the faces of children as they ask over and over again, "When will Christmas be here?" Having two small children at home makes it exciting!

Christmas is by far and away the most wonderful time of the year. Some have a hard time with Christmas because Christmas Eve, December 24th Services at 5:00 p.m. they feel like it has become far too secularized and (Families with Children), 7:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. commercialized. I always respond to that by saying, "It's up (Lessons, Carols, Communion, and Candlelight). These to you what your focus will be." Will you turn your are truly some of the most beautiful services of the year. "holidays" into "holy days" or will you miss what Christmas is all about? We all have that choice to make every year. The Don't miss it this year. Jump into the Christmas prophet Isaiah said, "The people who walked in darkness have spirit. Don't wait until the end of December to celebrate the seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of deep birth of Christ! See you on Sunday at Bethlehem. darkness, on them light has shined." In the first chapter of his Gospel, John writes, "The light shines in the darkness and the Blessings, darkness did not overcome it And the word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of a father's only son, full of grace and truth." Verses like these will allow us to focus and reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas. December can take on a life of its own. There are so many activities and events that calendars get crowded and people P.S. As you think about your end of year charitable giving, become worn out. All of us must work to find balance and don't forget to support the church. to carve out spiritual time to reflect upon the real meaning of Christmas. Over the years, Woodmont has earned a nickname: Woodmont "Christmas" Church. Throughout our 70 year history, this church has always celebrated Christmas well. That will remain true again this year. I challenge you to catch the spirit that comes when we celebrate the hope, peace, love, and joy that the Christ child brings. We had an exciting Hanging of the Greens service Sunday night followed by the traditional Tasting Party. Here are some other events that, I believe, will help you celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. This Sunday, December 8th Walk Thru Bethlehem A great tradition that continues to be the highlight of the

Don't Postpone Joy by Farrell Mason, Minister of Family Life & Pastoral Care
Dear Woodmont, The road of Life is set before us. There is a beginning and an end. There are only so many breaths permitted in the gorgeous order of creation. Every story is written with prophets and demons, straight paths and dead ends, holy signs and devil's curses, great love and painful sacrifice, terrific fear and unyielding hope each essential to stretching one's heart toward its salvation. The art is in finding a way in the darkness and in the light, in the valley of the shadows and high on the mountaintop, to live in the province of joy. My heart has been heavier than usual these last weeks. I have prayed for three friends, barely forty, who are all bravely fighting breast cancer. I have wept for a mother of a six month old baby who just heard those words that still haunt my dreams, "your child has cancer." And then Mother Nature proved awfully cruel, sending a typhoon to the Philippines to shake the very ground of our being. Every single one of you reading this today has a story. You know fear, you know grief, you know hurt, you know pain, you know doubt, you know loss, you know disappointment, and you know darkness. that last niggling five pounds around the girth, or getting the next work promotion, or waiting until the kids fly the coup, or getting the house of our dreams, or securing that safety net of silver dollars for the future. To postpone joy is pure negligence with the gift that is our life. And I am not talking about happiness. Happiness is fleeting and of this world. Happiness is a new tube of lipstick or oatmeal chocolate chip cookie or a good hair day. Joy is an experience of transcendence where you are drawn out of your flesh and bone and you have a poignant feeling that there is something more. Joy happens when the soul, that most beautiful, noble, divine part of you, is offered a gulp of grace and a peek at heaven. Joy is getting a little glimpse of God's glory. There is an art to living in the province of joy. People filled with joy are mysteriously and divinely-lit from the inside out. They glow. Even when all around them, there is darkness and suffering, they have this incredible gift of locating joy. You could say they aim for a higher, more holy experience of living here on earth. The secret: Never postpone Joy!

Walk the path of life, trusting in the intuition of your soul with your eyes full of wonder and your heart open and tuned in to where God is breaking through our midst. Remember, a But, do you know JOY? life spent searching for joy is not without its sorrows, but it is I recently heard a beautiful quote by Mark Nepo, "to be sacred every step of the way. broken does not mean to see all things as broken." The Live in hope, Divine Hourglass shows no mercy. We are only blessed with Farrell this moment. Shame on us if it requires a crisis, a diagnosis, a heart break or a blue day to wake us up to the potential for joy P.S. Speak your joy! Joy is contagious! in our lives. We are naive if we believe joy requires losing

Mission & Outreach

Room In The Inn Program
Then the king will say to those at his right hand, Come you that are blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing; I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. December is a hectic month for everyone. We are in strong need of volunteers on December 6th, 13th & 20th and for overnight hosts through March 28th. Woodmont offers such a special service to this community by telling the Christmas story. We beautifully portray in Walk Thru Bethlehem that there was "no room in the inn" for Mary, Joseph and Jesus. There is an opportunity not only to act out that story but to act on its message by providing room in the inn for homeless men. They will be blessed and you will too. Here's what Woodmont members have to say about their experiences volunteering with Room In The Inn: I have learned that I really am no different from any of these men. Most are intelligent, kind-hearted and - given the opportunity - would be hard-working. Many are veterans. I have learned much from our guests. It is so easy too! You just spend a few hours sharing a delicious meal and talking, then you share a restful evening. I usually get as much sleep as I would at home. Then I fix a simple breakfast and return home, ready to start my day. But this day is especially blessed - I was serving the Lord when I woke up! I have extra energy and a joy that fills my heart. My only regret? That I can't do it for more or more often. ~Steve LaForge I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to stay overnight with Steve now. I have always enjoyed my time spent visiting with our guests and getting to know them. I have helped with the dinners in the past and have been humbled at the Thankfulness of those we serve. As Steve said we are not that different - each of us could find ourselves in need because of circumstances often beyond our control. Knowing that, I know that I would want to be treated with respect and kindness which is important to remember when serving. ~Deb LaForge Room in the Inn has been an experience I have enjoyed for many years at Woodmont. The men we serve are appreciative and I always leave with a renewed thankfulness for God's blessings. After one meal, a couple of years ago, a guest played the piano. The next morning, I learned he was a former piano student of mine at Maplewood High who had fallen on hard times. RITI is an avenue of service that I look forward to every year. ~Michael Graham Special thanks to the wonderful volunteers who have already kicked off the season by offering their warmth and generosity: Stacy Satchell; Mary & Glenn Kiger; Laura Dovan; Tracy Crawford; Polly & George Keith; Betsy Hendrick, Stuart Lackey; Pat & Dave Malone; John Hobby; Virginia Lewis, Diane Tucker, Sandra Kyne, Martha Hobby, Anita Ferrell, Peggy Burrahm, Brenda Starnes; Barbara Stewart; Barbara Sullivan and members of Circle 4; Karen & David Conrad; Marcella Derryberry; Milly Moore; Beth Sowell and members of the Reflections Sunday School class; and Michael Graham.
