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.

The summer Jubilate Youth Choir Festival Singers’ tour took place the first week of June. Our youth choir here at Broadway joined voices with youth from five other churches as they toured around Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The shared experiences on the tour created a sense of unity and purpose for the entire group. New friendships were formed, old ones renewed and ministry opportunities were abundant.
We will begin on Saturday, June 6, at FBC Dalton, GA. However, we will return to Louisville on Monday, June 8, for a concert here at Broadway Baptist Church at 7:00 p.m.
In addition, we need to host about 100 people for the evening. Therefore, we really need Broadway to extend the ministry of hospitality to this choir. If you can serve as a host home, provide a place to sleep, and transportation, please call Robert, Dave Watkins, or the church office.
Please join us for Youth Sunday and Graduate Recognition May 24 during the 11 a.m. service. The Youth have been hard at work preparing to lead the congregation in worship. We will also have a time at the conclusion of our service to recognize this year's graduates, followed by a short reception in their honor.
On Friday, April 10, several members of Broadway's Youth volunteered part of their Spring Break to help out at WaterStep, a global clean water initiative based out of downtown Louisville. The main project the youth were involved in was making room for WaterStep's new indoor water pump school, which will be the only school of its kind in the world. The youth then went to Renaissance Fun Park for the rest of the afternoon. Thank you to the youth who attended, and especially to Aaron Weaver for helping to chaperone.
If you or someone you know affiliated with Broadway are graduating from high school, college, or a post graduate institution, please send in their information to be recognized on Graduate Sunday, May 24. For high school students, please include the high school the student is graduating from, as well as post high school plans. For college and post-graduate information, please include the school and degree attained. This is for all graduates in the Summer of 2014 through May 2015.
The youth choir at Broadway participated in the Jubilate Winter Retreat in Atlanta January 16-19. They joined their voices with over 100 other youth, from likeminded churches, in preparation for two winter concerts and their summer tour. We look forward to hosting this choir here at Broadway the first full week of June.
Thank you so much to everyone who came and contributed to the Youth Trivia Night Fundraiser!
