The Outreach Committee is hosting a Community-Wide Block Party, which will feature live music, food, Steel City Pops, a small farmer’s market, and games and activities for children of all ages. Free admission and parking, but bring cash to support local vendors.
In many ways, we are now entering the most challenging period of the interim. By the time you read this article, the Ad Hoc Committee will have presented their recommendations to the Deacons who will have a month to think about and discuss the material before voting on their recommendation at the May Deacons’ meeting. This recommendation will come to the Church Business Meeting on May 23.
Please join us for the movie, Wonder, at our new time, 11 a.m. Enter through office door, take elevator to second floor, Room E-204. New this month will be lunch following the movie. For May, we will dine at McAlisters Deli with lunch on your own. Please call the church office at 502.895.2459 by Thursday, May 10, to let us know you plan on attending the movie and/or lunch.

For the month of May, the Love in Action Bins will be used to collect items for Chenoweth Elementary. Please bring items to the church and place them in the Love in Action Bins by the church office, in Friendship Hall, or in the Atrium by June 1. We will collect:
Gently used child-sized backpacks
New school supplies (pencils, crayons, paper, scissors, and more)
Did you know that 10% of your gifts to Broadway goes to Missions? One of our partners (and neighbors) in the community is Chenoweth Elementary.
In March, several Broadway members worked with Ebonne’ Ingram Jones (Family Resource Coordinator) at Chenoweth to install a new shelving system and storage bins so Chenoweth can more quickly respond to needs within their school.
Thank you for your generosity and to everyone who helped!
Sundays from June 3 - July 1
9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.
Each Sunday from June 3-July 1, the Missions Committee will sponsor a series of Hands On Projects in the Family Life Center from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. These projects will be for all ages and skillsets, and will benefit our Missions partners in the community. If you have questions, or have an idea for a project, please contact Susan Reed at susanr@broadwaybaptist.org
You may have noticed the great work being done at Broadway thanks to our recent Capital Campaign. We also want to take the time to spruce up our space so we can be more welcoming and be good stewards of what we have. Beginning May 6, there will be suggestion boxes located around the church. If you see a small project that could be done to help make our space a little brighter, please fill out a card and leave it in the box.
The Youth are looking forward to leading Pentecost Sunday worship on May 20! Following worship, we will have a time of recognition of graduates. If you or a member of your family is graduating from high school, or receiving undergraduate or graduate degrees, please submit the following information to susanr@broadwaybaptist.org.
Please join Broadway's children and families to enjoy a summer kick-off in the Family Life Center parking lot (weather permitting). We will have inflatables, games, and a family-friendly cook-out. This is an inter-generational event, so all are welcome! In the event of inclement weather, we will move the festivities inside to the gym and Family Life Center.
Thanks to everyone who came out for Blaze Pizza Night - our fundraiser for the new preschool/kindergarten option at Creative Arts Camp. We filled the place with more than 103 people. Though I have not gotten the official numbers from Blaze, with individual donations and estimated proceeds from Blaze, we raised at least $1,280!
More great photos to come! Thanks to all for attending.
Dear Friends,
Reflections from this past month almost take my breath away. The continued opportunities for service and worship, the many activities that are occurring and the fellowship in which we all are engaged, leads me to know that we are a strong and vibrant church. Are we all that we can be? No, but who is? This I know is true: we are a people following Christ and serving our Lord. Just look around, read the bulletin, check this newsletter-all ages have something that involves learning, leading, and serving.
The beauty and elegance of Lois Granger’s winning table, the whimsical rainy day nature of Teresa Gray’s flower vase boots and umbrella from the ceiling, and the sea-world creatures of Jean Sosnin’s creativeness, were three of the 23 tables dressed beyond imaginations and independently judged to be winners. Our musical guests were The A Capella Fellas. The lunch by Gracious Plenty Catering was delicious as always. The Youth of Broadway were servers, along with a few adults.
Resurrection Sunday, April 1
After traveling down the path of our Lenten theme, God of Wilderness and Water, we will gather to celebrate the resurrection of Christ as we are led by the Chancel Choir and instrumentalists in our Alleluias. Come to Broadway to celebrate Christ is Risen. Christ is Risen indeed!
On April 8, we will begin distribution of the booklet, Getting Ready for a New Pastor and a New Future. It contains my full report for the final phase of our interim ministry. Much of it is new material, but you will also find summary items from some of our workshops that I believe we need to keep in mind as we move into the process of calling a new pastor.
