These courtesy of Haley Fisher. She really did a wonderful job. Don’t you just love those family photos? Some of them look like they could be in Time Magazine.
The pictures do a wonderful job beautifully communicating a truly beautiful day. Thanks to all who made it happen. It blessed me and has sustained me more than I can tell. Blessed be his name!
This Sunday is the 3rd Sunday in our annual Whitsitt Elementary Food Drive!
This week wee need you to bring canned veggies (ala green beans, peas, corn, etc…)
If you are feeling extra generous, we are a little low on our caned meat from last week so if you could spare some cans of tuna, the folks at Whitsitt could use it.
Here is a flyer of the coming weeks and what we’ll be asking for each week.
Alright Gang
If you’re planning on helping serve at The Sweetheart Banquet this Sunday night, you need to show up no later than 4:00 pm. We will feed you and then you will get a short but very important training time.
You should wear black shoes, black pants, and a white button down dress shirt.
Please email dave (dsessions@woodmont.org) if you have any questions.
Thanks for coming out to this year’s Soup-er Bowl celebration! We collected nearly 500 cans for Whitsitt Elementary families this year!
On February 3rd, we will again be hosting a “Soup-er Bowl” party, and you’re invited!
Beginning at 5pm, we will have pizza, snacks, drinks, MarioKart, and, of course, football.
The cost of admission will be 5 or more canned foods that will be donated to people in need. Last year we were able to collect over 400 cans, and we’d love to top that this year!
Hope to see you there!
Mark your calendars for the first annual RESOLUTION to be held on January 27th at 5:00pm in the Great Hall.
RESOLUTION is a time for families to come hear about WoodmontYG’s goals, hopes, and dreams for 2013. We’ll be announcing all our summer events as well, so everyone will want to be present for that. Both parents and students are encouraged to attend.
Pizza will be provided.
Hope you can make it!
“What’s a Sweetheart Banquet?” you ask. Good question.
We are partnering with Woodmont’s SALT Team (Senior Activities and Leadership) to throw, to the best of my knowledge, Woodmont’s first ever night of fun for anyone with a sweetheart.
“But what if I’m not dating anyone?” you ask. Well then you probably have more time to do homework, save money, pray and read your Bible, but actually the night isn’t only for that kind of sweetheart and we (WoodmontYG) aren’t the guests.
No, this is an event around Valentines Day where Woodmont gets to step out and say, “We celebrate any loving relationship God graces us with in any stage of life.” You are beginning to think, “What is he talking about?” Ok. I’ll get to the point.
We are throwing a party with our Seniors Ministry team for everyone at our church who has a sweetheart they want to be with near Valentines Day. We are going to provide the entertainment for the event as well as wait tables and host our guests.
“Who are the guests?” The guests are anyone who buys a ticket for them and their sweetheart. You might wait a table for your parents or grandparents. You may buss a table for a grandmother whose husband has passed away but brought her grandson. You may fill coffee for two best buddies who are totally comfortable with their totally platonic bromance. Essentially, this night is for anyone who has someone they love, be that a romantic love or otherwise. And we get the opportunity to not only serve the rest of our family (Something I’ve come to find you guys are especially good at) but see all the way God gifts his children with love.
The Sweetheart Banquet is February 10th from 5:00 to 7:00 in The Great Hall. Below is a list of ways you can serve. If one or more of them sound like something you’d like to do email me if you’re in High School (dsessions@woodmont.org), Jesse if you’re in Middle School (jbaker@woodmont.org) or our office assistant Vera (vphipps@woodmont.org).

This Sunday is our annual, Woodmont Hills Christmas festival!
That’s right, SANTA!
There will be brunch, ponies, carriage rides, crafts, caroling fun, joy, and merriment for the whole family. Last year, Santa even showed up!
The festival will be taking place from noon to 2pm right after second service, and we would love for you to serve during a portion of that time.
We will need people to serve drinks at brunch, help with various clean-up jobs, and to help with the craft areas.
If you can stick around to serve, stick around in the lobby after second service, and we’ll put you to work!
Hope you’ll be able to celebrate and serve with us!
Let the games begin! And may the odds be ever in your favor.
UPDATE: This was originally posted without specifying a date. It will be Tuesday, December 4th. Sorry for the confusion.
Hey 7th grade!
Since you guys did such an amazing job at Trunk-or-Treat and were voted the winners, I’m taking you bowling!
We’ll be meeting at Jaymar Family Entertainment Centers in Franklin at 6pm next Tuesday, December 4th, for two hours of free,unlimited bowling. All you need to bring money for are food, games, or those super cool socks you get out of a vending machine.
Parents, feel free to stick around if you’d like! You will have to pay for bowling, however. If you decide to go out to a romantic dinner at Zaxby’s instead, be sure to come back at 8pm to pick up your awesome 7th grader.
Hope you can make it!
