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.

Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! I want to thank you all for your faithfulness to our church during this past year. We have been blessed by each of your efforts. The year 2018 holds vast potential for Broadway Baptist to continue to be a place where people are led to live out their Christian faith through worship, fellowship, and service. I believe that sharing of information about what is happening in our church is vital for unity and harmony. I share these messages with you to keep you up-to-date on what is happening in our church, and to give you an opportunity to ask me for clarification or additional information.
As of the writing of this article, we have received more than $74,000 toward the $60,000 we borrowed on our line of credit. (The surplus will be used to take care of any deficit we might have from 2017. Final figures for last year will be available by the end of this month.) Although it was a very “low key” effort, so many responded with generosity and commitment. I do not know the names of those who participated or amounts that were given by any individuals. That, of course, is exactly as it should be. Giving records are strictly confidential.
Sanctuary Flowers
Many thanks to those who sponsored flowers for our worship services in 2017 through our Flower Ministry. We have the following dates available in 2018: January 28, April 8, May 6, June 10, June 17, July 15, July 22, August 12, October 14, and November 11. If you would like to sponsor a flower arrangement, please contact the church office at 502.895.2459. If you have a particular Sunday for which you have sponsored flowers on an ongoing basis in the past, please verify these dates with the office.

Broadway Celebrates National Adoption Day with Activities
Foster Parents Enrichment Day was held on Saturday October 21, and 70 foster families earned up to eight hours of required continuing education during this day-long conference. Broadway not only stepped in to provide a comfortable place for this important event, but also lunch for all of the attendees.
Could we Enter the New Year Debt Free?
In 2016, the church borrowed $60,000 on a line of credit to make up for a short-fall in the budget for that year. There were no funds included in the current year’s budget to pay down the debt, and nothing has been included in the budget for 2018 toward repayment. Our interest payment is $200 per month.
