In November 2015, Broadway voted to send $6000 to Chenoweth Elementary to purchase chromebooks for student’s use. Last week, the school and the JCPS Superintendent celebrated our partnership! We are so grateful to contribute to the education and development of young lives in our community!

The Pleasure Ridge Park High School Choir, led by Phillip Jennings, used our facility for their choir retreat last weekend. Their thank you note is shown here. 

I am so very grateful for the many acts of kindness and love that Broadway has shown our family during this time of loss. Lloyd loved and cherished his association with this church and its congregation. Your visits, cards, prayers, and expressions of sympathy have been a source of comfort to us. Thank you for being so generous with your support and love.
 
With thanks and appreciation,

Dear Broadway Church Family, 

Thank you for your many expressions of sympathy since the death of our son, David, Jr. It may be that at times of great sorrow, even more than at times of great joy, it is a blessing to have a strong faith, and belong to a strong family of faith which enfolds you with its love. Thank you for the comfort given to us by your prayers, your warm friendships, and by our certainty of your steady and sure support. 

Sincerely, 
David and Patricia Nightingale

This year, Frank and I felt intimidated by the all siants service as we had never participated so directly. Our family has had much sadness this year with the death of Drew and my mother within a month of each other.  My Mother’s brother also passed away two weeks after Drew. There are many families of Broadway who have had to deal with sadness this year. We actually were going out of town that weekend to visit Jonathan and Beth. When we realized we would be gone for All Saints Sunday we decided to return early. We felt we should be the ones to light the candles for Mom and Drew.  My sister, my niece, and Jacque attended so we could pay tribute to those we loved in person. We were so touched by the music and the arrangement of  “Clare du Lune” by Mark Benz on the piano. That music was one of Drew’s favorites. It was a lovely service and we made the right decision to return home.

Dear Broadway Family,

What a meaningful  farewell blessing you gave to our mother, Helen Graves, when she was there for her last service with you. Mother gets confused now and when family members called her that Sunday afternoon she told them you had missed her so much that you had a big welcome home for her at the end of the service! We didn’t even correct her because we thought that was very significant. Even though she has moved away she will still carry the feeling that you have welcomed her back into your loving care. Broadway will always be her home church and we are thrilled that she interpreted your goodbye as a welcome home.

The Graves family will always be grateful to you for your faithfulness to mother in so many ways. The van ministry kept her able to attend Sunday School and church for several years. The women in her Sunday School Class were so attentive and inclusive of mother even as she began declining.The cards you sent were read to her often. I brought the big birthday poster to North Carolina so I could read her the names of all who signed it and she can tell me about who they are.  You really celebrated who mother is and she felt it deep in her heart.

Mother is very happy here in Black Mountain. Her new address is 514 S Oconeechee, Black Mountain, NC 28711. If any of you are passing through this way we would love to have you visit us.  Our phone number is 828.357.8307.  Please call just to chat with her or to let us know you can visit us. We want to stay in touch with you.  

With much appreciation, 
Cannan Hyde

We are so blessed to have a continuing relationship with the Broadway congregation. Our thanks for the thoughts of love which are boundless!  Please know that your brief notes on the prayer cards inspire us.  The volunteers who take us for medical care, phone calls, and expressions of concern are blessed gifts to us.

We want to thank those that brought meals to us after the birth of our son Aleric. They have been very much appreciated and so helpful. Thank you for the phone calls and emails, we are very blessed to have such a great church family.

Please accept my deep gratitude for the expressions of sympathy and support shown my family at Simpson’s death. Drs. Caldwell, Higdon, and Storment, as well as our bereavement committee, did so much to comfort and shepherd us through a difficult day.

Thank you, Broadway Baptist friends, for your prayers, visits, and cards during my recent knee replacement surgery. I continue my recuperation and rehabilitation at home. I look forward to the time when I will attend worship services again. I would also like to include a thank you to the ladies who shared the Sunday flowers with me.

To my Broadway friends,
I want to thank everyone for all your prayers, cards, flowers, food, and phone calls. It meant so much to me and  really lifted my spirits. I am grateful to have so much love and friendship. Some of it goes back more than 60 years. I am finally on the road to recovery after my fall 5-5-15. I will always treasure your kindness and concern. A special thank you to Carolyn, Carol, Susan, and Chris.

In loving service to God,
Mary Sue Howell

After years of studying vocabulary and “The Art of Persuasion,” I find it impossible to adequately express appreciation for all the Love and Attention showered on me and my family upon the death of Marillyn. We recognize we have many devoted friends. You supported and comforted us well. To all, we say “Thank You.”

~Clyde White and Family
