Sunday, December 1, 11 a.m., Sanctuary
Join us as we adorn our sanctuary with garlands, wreaths, candles, chrismons, and poinsettias to welcome the Advent season. Our theme this Advent is Gifts of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love through the eyes of our Mission Partners. As tradition, our stoles and banners will be changed to Advent Blue. This is to inspire hope, and to encourage us to keep watch for the promised light of Christ, changing night into day, darkness into light, and filling our lives with hope, love, joy, and peace.

A Message from our Interim Pastor
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.

May Love in Action Bins
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)
We are so Thankful for our Mission Partners!
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!

Youngest Members Make a Joyful Noise
The 2017-2018 Children’s Choir has participated in worship more than any Children’s Choir in the past six years at Broadway. Truly, this is a talented group of children and they have grown so much in their musical and spiritual knowledge and understanding this year. In addition, they have inspired us and enhanced our worship experiences numerous times, and we are grateful for their musical offerings in worship. Their last opportunity to sing in worship this semester is planned for May 13, Mother’s Day.
Sparkle and Shine

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.
