The Labyrinth
During this season of Lent leading
up to Easter, were having a class on
Prayer every Wednesday night at 6:30
p.m. in Room 105. We are discussing
how we understand prayer, how to
pray, what to expect from prayer, and
other such topics. We will also discuss
different kinds of praying, like Praying
the Scriptures, the Serenity Prayer,
Contemplative Prayer or Centering Prayer, the difference
between prayer and meditation, and so on - class topics
are listed below. The last night of the class, March 16 (the
Wednesday before Palm Sunday and Holy Week), we will
learn about and experience praying the Labyrinth.
What is the Labyrinth? It is a circular design that you
can walk, wandering in various directions until you reach
the center. The Labyrinth is a spiritual tool designed
to connect us with God. The circular design represents
unity and wholeness, which all of us desire for our lives.
As Helen Curry says in her book The Way of the
Labyrinth, It creates a sense of evolution entering
into time, calling us to awaken to a citizenship in the
universe larger than our aspirations and richer and
more complex than all our dreams. It is a call of the larger
cycle, the dance of the larger life. To walk the labyrinth
brings one into exquisite states of renewed awareness,
deepened consciousness, and a sense of the Divine. It
encompasses a journey to the center of ones very being.
There are three basic parts of the Labyrinth experience:
1. The walk to the center, or walk inward
2. The center itself; and
3. The journey out again
During the walk inward, with its many surprising and
disconcerting turns and dead ends, one is invited to release

by Roy Stauffer

old patterns of living, worn-out ideas and concepts, and

unhappy behaviors. At the center of the labyrinth one is
asked to experience the recovery of your very essence, to
know at a very deep level union with the great mystery that
is God. It is where you get in touch with the still, small
voice, the sacred within yourself. Then the third part of
the labyrinth experience, the most important part, is to go
back out from the center, and prepare to re-enter the world
again, hopefully with the intention of performing deep,
loving service to the world.
The more you walk the Labyrinth, the more you will get
in touch with our inner self and God, and the more you
will feel empowered to do the work your soul is longing
for. People walk the Labyrinth in different ways. Some
rush right through it, like they do life, never pausing, as
if they want to get it over with as soon as possible. Some
stop and pray along the way. Some pause and meditate.
Some go around twice, or three, or four times. Some take
their time, as if there is no hurry at all.
Woodmont has two Labyrinths. One is outdoors in
the Haught Memorial Payer Chapel. It is available year
around. But we also have another Labyrinth that can
be set up inside the church. And it will be set up in the
Youth Area for the March 16th Prayer Class. It will stay
set up until Easter Sunday. Members are invited and
encouraged to walk the Labyrinth especially on Maundy
Thursday after our service, Good Friday before or after
our service, and Saturday of Easter weekend especially as
you participate in the Prayer Vigil. It will be available at
all times from March 16th until Easter.
If youve never walked the Labyrinth before, I strongly
encourage you to try it. As I said, its another tool to help
strengthen our spiritual life.

Wandering Through Lent

I dont usually think of Jesus as a
guy who wandered a lot. Feed the
hungry? Sure. Turn the tables? Of
course. Heal the sick? Absolutely. But
wandering I just cant picture it. Most
of the time I find myself rushing late
to this or that meeting, speed walking
with purpose to get where Im going.
But even if I had the time, the thought
of wandering around just doesnt sound that appealing
to me. So in this age of global positioning satellites,
perhaps you are like me struggling to remember the
last time you wandered. But then without fail the
season of Lent has come upon us once again, and Luke
4 has something to say to our busy impulses: the God of
mystery shows up in the strangest places the ones we dont
usually find ourselves in without a little bit of wandering.
Jesus spends 40 days in the wilderness, wrestling with his
ministry and who God is calling him to be. His season of
quiet wandering (the being) equips Jesus for everything
else he does in his ministry (the doing). The basis for
Lent, then wandering in the wilderness reminds us
that being-without-doing is inadequate but also that
doing-without-being is insufficient.
Surely the skeptics who thought it odd that Jesus
disappeared for 40 days were the same ones who
incredulously asked why he wandered over to the home
of a tax collector and why he needed to wander off into
the dangerous terrain of a leper colony. I suppose he had
no more business wandering into any of those places then
he had telling us that we ought to love our neighbor as
ourselves but then again, he is the one we call Lord.
Yet the world constantly reinforces our own need to be
in control of our own destiny and thus to fear a little bit
of wandering off the spiritual path. As Tolkien wrote,
though, not all who wander are lost.

by Trey Flowers

The Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis once had a dream

that reminds us of the importance of wandering and of
the ways that the world tries to train it out of us:
One day, a mother brought her son to the priest and
begged for the old man to help her son. My boy has
too many questions about God, she said. All of the
neighbors are astonished at the things he says about our
Father in Heaven (these crazy dreams) and I just dont
know what to do. The old priest knew exactly what do,
though, so he took the boy aside and told the young man
that he was willing to help him out. Whats the matter?,
asked the priest. I dont know, says the boy. I seem
to roam the streets just wandering... and wrestling.
The priest responds, quizzically, with whom are you
wrestling? The boy quickly replied back With God, of
course. Who else would you wrestle with?
The priest became disheartened, but went at work to
make that boy get rid of his tendencies to speak out and
to wrestle with God. So he took the boy to his house and
taught him carpentry. And theyd have long talks about
God, and the priest explained to the boy over and over
again that God is not someone to be wrestled with... that
God does not need us to wander, that God is just the
person in heaven who needs us to stay inside the lines.
After a month or so of these conversations, the boy is
cured and goes home to his mother, Mary. Many years
later the priest hears about the boy and all of the great
things he had built out of wood. And it turns out that,
thanks to the priests teachings, the boy had grown up to
become the best carpenter in all of Nazareth.
Instead of dreaming about the kingdom of God and
growing up to save the world the boy had been trained
to be the best carpenter in all of Nazareth.
Perhaps a little bit of wandering would do us all good.

frustrates you, because he is always right: So do not worry

about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.
Todays trouble is enough for today.
This week, our friend from The Bridge, Leah Steltenpohl,
snapped this photo of us, recreating a moment from our
wedding about 6 years ago.

I am a list maker. I have been making

little lists for as long as I can remember:
Lists of things I like and things I dont;
lists of dreams for the future; lists of
things to try and places to go. On my
daily to do lists, I draw little boxes so
that I can check them off. Sometimes, if
I do something not on the list, Ill add it
in just so I get the joy of checking off the
box, and the momentary swell of pride at being productive.
This is neurotic behavior, certainly-- and on some level,
many of us engage in it. Its hard to live in the moment; to go
with the flow. For Western thinkers in particular, its a real
challenge! I like making lists because I like making plans.
I like to feel that Im in control of making my life the way I
think it should be, and that with enough planning, things
will pan out perfectly-- but really, this delicious feeling is a
delusion. I read recently that happy people plan actions, but
they dont plan results.
This is exactly where I get myself into trouble. I tend to
think that if I work hard enough, and plan diligently enough,
I get to count on the results, but it doesnt usually work like
that. Ive written here in the Spire before about the challenges
weve had with starting a family, and youd think with all
the setbacks weve experienced that I would have learned
this lesson well. Ive been in planning-addict overload mode
here these last few months of my pregnancy, and frankly,
Ive been enjoying it: To do before Maternity Leave, Baby
Gear to Order, Parenting Books to Read, and on and on.
I invested heavily in one particular natural birth method,
attending classes, reading endless articles, and dog-earring
pages in books... and then, with an ultrasound three weeks
before our due date, we learned this birth method wouldnt
work for us, since our baby is breech. Turns out, our babys
plans for her arrival conflicted with mine.
This threw me off course in a big way. The new plan is for a
scheduled C-section, two weeks early. I felt as if I had trained
for months for a marathon, and didnt qualify at the very
last minute. I found myself feeling incredibly anxious and
afraid. I hadnt expected surgery, or the recovery that comes
with it. I hadnt expected to need extra help at home. I had
no lists for this new plan, and I only have a few days to get
some new planning together! In my worrying, Matthew 6:34
showed up again in my mind, just like a friend who kind of

Looking at these two images side by side, I can remember

dozens of times things didnt go as planned for us as a couple,
and not only have we survived, but we have grown a lot
through these experiences. Through this season of change,
Ive been thankful, and taken great comfort and courage in
the ways our community has supported us with love and
prayer, casseroles and cards! Thank you for ministering to
us! These sweet actions have helped me to feel Gods presence
palpably, and remind me to adjust my focus-- To breathe
in, let go, and trust Gods steadfast presence alongside me.
No matter what plans Ive made or what plans fall apart,
my faith embraces the sense that God is constant, faithful
and true. Trusting God means opening myself fully to this
understanding and leaning into it with all Ive got. By this
time next week, we are excited and hopeful that there will
be a new little person living in our house. From what weve
been told, the only thing we can actually plan on for sure is
that we wont be getting much sleep for a while.

Lent Devotional from February 21st - Second Sunday of Lent, Psalm 63:1-8 by Pam Groom

period of quiet. People I needed to pray for came to mind.

My life's purpose became clearer. My worries became less
consuming. I realized that the noise, the technology, the race,
and the sense of endless obligation build a fortress around
us so that we cannot be honest, alone, quiet, and vulnerable
before God. Perhaps this fortress of distraction makes us feel
safe and yet ultimately empty.
"On my bed I remember you. I think of you through the
watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the
shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you, Your right hand
upholds me."
Can we be still ten minutes a day for 40 days?
Dear Lord,
Empty us of the distractions of the world. Fill us with Your
spirit and a hunger to serve You. Change us in these 40 days so
that we can become the people You have called us to be.
In Your precious name we pray, Amen.
- Pam Groom

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all God's

people sat in total silence for at least ten minutes a day?
What would God tell us?
What would our stress level be?
This year's Lenten devotional is one that you will read on
your computer or perhaps on the run on your phone mixed
in a sea of other urgent or meaningless e-mail messages. This
holy period leading to Easter needs to change us in some
small or mighty way. Will we be the exact same person in 40
days? God would still love us, but do we want to stay exactly
as we are now?
In the faith leader program, I chose to practice ten minutes
of total silence NOT in my car, NOT on the run, NOT even
reading my devotional, but away from everything-just God
and me. I set a timer on my cell phone and the first time I did
it, I was amazed at how cluttered my mind was and how long
ten minutes felt. I kept singing the phrase "Spirit of the Living
God, fall afresh on me" until I was calm and settled. I chose
the nighttime after whatever day I had experienced to be my

A Note from Justin Gung...

Dear Woodmont,
Recently, on a Monday afternoon, I put my head on my
desk in disappointment. Why? Because Maddison Grigsby
had just informed me that she is moving to Dallas, Texas.
For the past nine months, Maddison has worked as
Children's Ministry Coordinator. She has led Children's
Church, overseen Junior Youth Fellowship, and provided
cover for Sunday School teachers. She has led the Children's
Moment on Sunday morning, planned special events like the
Father-Daughter* Dance, and given essential administrative
support to me.
But, in January, a company in Dallas recruited Maddison
to work in its marketing department. Given that Dallas is the
city where most of her family plans to relocate, the choice was
clear.
Providentially, at the same time that this was happening,
Clay Stauffer and several other Woodmont parents
interviewed Ceron Warfield to be Children's Ministry Intern.
Ceron (pronounced "Suh-ron") is a full-time elementary
school teacher in Metro Nashville. He has a degree in
elementary
education
and carries the "Highly
Qualified Teaching Status"
for all subject areas K-6.
He is credentialed in the
Montessori educational
philosophy. He coaches
football,
basketball,
and swimming, but his
strongest qualification is
his living faith in Jesus
Ceron and Jocelyn Warfield
Christ.
Ceron is not a direct replacement for Maddison. Actually,
we are working to find a suitable replacement for her. Thank
you for your prayers and active help in the ministry during
the interim.
We hope that you will join us at a reception in honor
of Maddison on Sunday, March 13, at 10:30 a.m. in the
Gathering Hall. We also hope that you will warmly welcome
Ceron and his wife, Jocelyn, to Woodmont.

Members of the Wednesday morning early men's group

have been working with the Coptic Christians in Nashville
teaching them English.
We began this ministry via Joe Badaway and his brother Peter. We have become aware that many, maybe even most,
of these Egyptian Coptic Christians live in apartments with
next to nothing. Many don't have beds, linens, chairs, tables
and basic but essential furniture.
So we are asking any Woodmont members who might have
furniture you don't need - perhaps stored in your attic or
basement - to donate it to these families. If you're moving,
downsizing, or buying new furniture and don't need the old,
please call the church office at 615.297.8563 and let us know
you are willing to donate. You will then be contacted by a
member of our men's group to schedule a time when we can
pick it up at your convenience.
Thank you for seeking God, sharing love, and serving others
by making another Woodmont sponsored ministry possible!
