May We Borrow Your Ladder for Nashville Workcamp?

Without your help providing ladders last year, Matthew would still be on that roof.

If your family has a step or extension ladder that you wouldn’t mind parting with for a short time this summer, we’d like to borrow it for Nashville Workcamp.

We’ll be painting houses for Workcamp from June 2nd-7th, so we would need you to drop off your ladders between the 26th of this month and June 2nd. Please write your family name on the ladders so we remember who they belong to, and you can drop them off by the columns on the 26th or 2nd. If you need to come at another time, please contact us to let us know.

They will be ready to return to you by Sunday, June 9th.

If you can loan a ladder to us, please email dsessions@woodmont.org and jbaker@woodmont.org to give us an idea of how many to expect.

Thank you very much for your support!

Medina Applications

As we mentioned in the meeting Wednesday night, we have moved the application deadline for the Medina Mission trip to this Tuesday, May 14th. This change was made because Southwest Airlines requires us to have every passengers name and date of birth for us to be able to purchase them a ticket, and they do not allow transfers, and our last day to turn in names is May 15th. 

Let me stress that this is when the application is due. We will not need final payment until June 15th, but we must have your application in by May 14th!

Middle School Mission Deadline

Now that we have our results from the Pancake Breakfast fundraiser, I am pleased to announce an official deadline and price for our Middle School Mission trip to Albany, Georgia.

Applications will be due by May 19th along with a $100 deposit.*

The total cost of the trip will be $230 total (or $130 after the deposit). The incredible support shown at the Pancake Breakfast lowered the cost by $70 a person!

The full total will be due by June 23rd, and students are encouraged to raise money by writing letters to people that do not attend church at Woodmont (as to avoid overwhelming the same group of people with requests) or by any other means necessary, if they so choose.

All middle school students, 6th-8th grade, are encouraged to apply. If you’d like to know more about the nature of the trip, you can learn more here.

 

*If, for some reason, there is not room for a student, or they are not selected as a member of the team, this deposit will be refunded after May 19th.

Medina Meeting Rescheduled

DSC_0014
We had originally scheduled a Medina information meeting for tomorrow at 5:00 but we will need to reschedule for next Wednesday, May the 8th at 5:00 in the teen center.

Again, the new time for the Medina Informational meeting that, if you can, would be a really good idea for all teenagers and parents to attend, will be Wednesday, May 8th at Woodmont in the Teen Center at 5:00 pm.

Senior Sunday Volunteers

Next Sunday is Senior Sunday when we celebrate our senior leaders as they open the next chapter of their lives.

This is a family event for us, so we will not be having regularly scheduled classes. Instead, we are calling you to come to worship to support our seniors and serve by participating in the service.

We need singers and communion servers.

If you’d like to sing in the choir, please email jbaker@woodmont.org. Singers will come to the choir room at 7:30am on Sunday, and sing for both services. This will be fun, and you’ll probably know every single song. Do it!

We also need communion servers for both services (if you’d like to do both, that’s great too!). If you’d like to serve communion, also email jbaker@woodmont.org and indicate if you can do 1st, 2nd, or both services.

We need you guys to make this happen! Help us represent WoodmontYG and our seniors with the spirit of service they deserve!

What’s a YapTap?

We’ve been using YapTap for a little over a year now as one of our modes of communication with those involved in our ministry. When we first signed up, it was primarily a group-texting service, but it has been quickly expanding and evolving ever since.

Though YapTap is not our primary method of communication (This blog is!), it’s a helpful tool to receive quick updates from the WoodmontYG team. Now that summer is approaching, this will come in handy even more.

So, here are a few ways to get connected if you aren’t already:

  • iPhone/Android App: Download the iPhone app and click “Join a Community” to get started.
  • Classic SMS: Text “Join *WoodmontYG FirstName LastName” to 423-464-4342
  • Good ol’ fashioned E-mail: Email join@app.yaptap.com with “Join *WoodmontYG FirstName LastName” in the Subject.
  • Online (This may be the easiest method):  https://app.yaptap.com/join/WoodmontYG

Things to know: Our “community code” is “WoodmontYG,” and anywhere it says “FirstName LastName” in those instructions, it means to put your name in there. Don’t just leave it as “FirstName LastName.”

If you have any trouble, just let us know and we should be able to help you get set up.

Don’t forget, you can also connect with us through Twitter and Facebook.

Free Parenting Class

Hey all you parents out there. Tonight and next week at Brentwood United Methodist Church there are free classes from two widely respected childhood experts. Tonight is “Wild Things – The Art of Nurturing Boys” by David Thomas, L.M.S.W. who co-authored a book by the same name. Next Wednesday is “Raising Girls” taught by Sissy Goff, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP who has authored a book by the same name and Growing Up Without Getting Lost. Both events are free and should be highly educational for parents of boys and girls.

Jesus Party Cancelled :(

cute-face-puppy-background-image-611591

 

Look at that puppy’s face! Look at how sad he looks. I could fill a swimming pool with my own tears if I looked at that puppy long enough. Do you know why that puppy is so sad? I do. But are you sure you want me to tell you?

Caution, if you are having a bad day and can’t take more bad news, or if you are having a very good day and don’t want it spoiled with bad news, you should immediately stop reading this post, put down your electronic device and go enjoy a lovely spring day. If you decide to proceed, I must warn you, this picture captures only a glimpse into the profound depths of this puppy’s sadness. It is a sadness so deep and comprehensive no single picture could do it justice.

This puppy is so sad because we are officially canceling the Jesus Party… (dramatic pause for profound shock and sadness)…

Ok, being serious, The Jesus Party is something I’ve done at churches when I lived in Georgia and Texas. The idea is to throw a party Jesus may want to attend. When Jesus talked about parties he told his followers to invite “last” kinds of people, people that don’t normally get invited to parties, because that’s the celebration that is going to look most like heaven. Well, we had such a party all lined and, for a long list of reasons all of which are no bodies fault (except maybe mine – Dave’s), things fell through.

As much as I was joking about the puppy, I am pretty bumbed out about it because Jesus Parties are some of the most fun I’ve ever had. But, for this year, it aint happening. We will put it on the calendar for next year and hope things work out better. So, go hug a puppy.

Workcamp Applications

OldWorkcampLogo

Hey everybody! It’s time to get your Nashville Workcamp applications in ASAP! The deadline to have your application is April 14th… That’s this Sunday! If money is an issue, we can take that later, or work out another plan, but we must have the application by this Sunday. Nashville Workcamp is always one of my favorite things in the summer and I want all of you to be able to experience God’s gift of losing yourself in serving others.

Go to the “Forms” tab at the top of this page, find the Workcamp link, print it off, fill it out, and turn it in.
