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.

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.
The search process for our new senior pastor is gaining momentum. Notice of the open position has been provided to dozens of CBF affiliated organizations, seminaries, and contacts throughout the nation. We are receiving resumes on a daily basis, and the search committee is now meeting weekly to review potential candidates.
The Finance Committee asks that you attend a "lunch and learn" on Sunday, April 22, following the 11 a.m. service. The purpose of the program is to share with you information about our budget, the process of stewardship as we move through this year and into 2019, and features a giving analysis over the last five years.
If you or a member of your family is graduating from high school, or receiving undergraduate or graduate degrees, we would love to hear about it and celebrate with you in the newsletter and on Graduate Recognition Sunday on May 20! Please submit the following information to susanr@broadwaybaptist.org.
Please join Broadway's children and families at Blaze Pizza in St. Matthews (Shelbyville Road Plaza) to raise money for the new preschool/kindergarten option at Creative Arts Camp! Invite your friends and tell them to mention "Broadway Baptist Church" at check out, and 20% of the proceeds will go directly to our children!
For the month of April, the Love in Action Bins will be used to collect items for Samaritan Patrol (ministry to people in Louisville who are homeless).

Hearty Canned Soups with pull top lids

This year, we celebrate the 25th Baptist House with the building of two houses, and two Raise the Roofs, right across the street from each other! This means, we need double the volunteers. We are looking for a men's crew of five on Saturday, as the ladies will be at the Spring Mission Luncheon. We also need a group to provide lunch on Friday the 13. If you would like to participate, please contact Sharon Davis at gdavis3@bellsouth.net, or 502.939.4682. New folks are welcome!
Delight in great music in a cozy setting as our Courtyard Concerts return in May! Join us on Sunday, May 6, immediately following worship in our newly renovated courtyard. Musicians from the Louisville Orchestra are our featured guests, and a great meal is provided by Gracious Plenty.
Admission is $10, and everyone is welcome! Space is limited, so please make a reservation by calling the church office at 502.895.2459.
Whether you’re an aspiring chef, guitarist, or photographer, our annual Creative Arts Camp is reserving a spot just for you! For children who have completed first through sixth grades, join us August 6-9 for a day camp centered around the creative spirit. Registration is $50 per camper and everyone is encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch daily.
Join in the fun of a morning spent trimming, raking, cutting, blowing, and laughter. This is an opportunity to help care for our beautiful church grounds and get some fresh air and exercise at the same time! Our plan is to focus on the west side of the church and prepare our grounds for the Community-wide Block Party on May 19.
On March 8-10, I had the opportunity to attend three days of Godly Play training in Atlanta. Godly Play is a creative method for children to explore the stories of our faith, build community together, and begin to listen to the word of God in their lives. Through the art of story telling and the use of a wide range of materials to engage the children within the story, Godly Play leads children into a process of wondering to discover how God is working in and through the stories - even 2,000 years after they were written!
