Team Broadway Potluck

Team Broadway Potluck

Get Your Spirit On

Join us for a special time of fellowship on the upcoming Fifth Sunday! Following the 10:30 service we will gather in Fellowship Hall for a potluck meal.  Everyone is invited to bring a favorite dish, dessert or side to share or just share your conversation and enjoy with us!

Sunday, March 29, 2026 will also be T-Shirt Sunday.  Feel free to wear your Broadway T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.  It’s a fun way to celebrate our church community and show our spirit together.

If you would still like to purchase a Broadway T-shirt we will be offering them at 20% off on Sunday March 29th.

Peace Like a River

Peace Like a River

- Tuesday, March 10, 2026

If you know me at all you know I love to talk about my home, your home, the home God created for us and all living things. You know, earth.

But this place is more than a habitat to me.  It’s a symphony hall, an art gallery, a recreation center, and a community hub. When I place myself in the middle of creation I am reminded that God crafted life and everything needed to sustain it and declared it all "good." We have been given the responsibility to nurture and care for the continuation of the world.

Last Sunday, Shannon Meister preached on the power of water. As one of the four elements of the earth, water is necessary for all living things to exist. However, balance is required to maintain a healthy relationship with water.

Easter Lilies

Memorials and honorariums are now being accepted for the purchase of Lilies for Easter worship.  We are suggesting a donation of $10.00 for each lily, however we will remember and honor your loved ones with any amount you can give.  Please complete the [ONLINE FORM] or pick one up at the Welcome Center desk, complete it and make your donation [ONLINE], or by cash or check (designated for flowers) and place it in the Sunday offering or return to the office.  If you wish to keep a lily, let us know and when they are removed from the Sanctuary we will save one for you.

Care and Share March Request

Care and Share is requesting packages of Ramen Noodles for their pantry shelves this month.  Donations may be left in the shopping cart outside the church office.

Basket Auction

As part of Broadway's fundraiser for the tower clock repairs, we will be holding a silent auction of gift baskets.  If you or your ministry or small group would like to put together a basket, please see Shannon, Kasey, or leave a message for them with the church office. 

[Suggested Gift Basket Ideas]

Books, Books, Books!

Books that are ordered for small groups are usually ordered by the office.  Over time the couple of extra books we get for groups, or ordered books that don't get picked up, or even lost orders that are replaced then finally show up have accumulated and have overfilled the book cart. We would love to see these books used by anyone interested in expanding their faith.  The cart is parked outside the church office. If you see titles that interest you or might be helpful for someone you know, please take them - for free.
