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.

Dearest friends,
Where do we begin to say thank you for all your prayers, cards, concerns, and telephone calls during these long weeks of fear for our daughter’s safety? The power of prayer can never be underestimated! She and her friend for life (also named Joelle) are home safe due to the prayers of many people.
We are celebrating another successful sale netting almost $5,700. Thank you to many generous Broadway donors and volunteers. FYI, the racquetball court will be closed for the month of April for cleaning. During April only, you may choose to donate your items to the Ridge family yard sale. They are raising money to adopt a two year old boy from China who has Beckwith-Wiede mann syndrome. You may reach Matt at 502.558.1998 or Mary Ann at dr.remodel@juno.com. Beginning in May, donations for next year's Spring Missions Sale may be placed in the racquetball court.
A sincere thank you to Broadway members for continuing to remember mother (Helen Graves). She treasures each message she receives from you.
Mother lived with us for eight months, then following another small stroke, we placed her in a nearby nursing home. She has adjusted well and is very happy here in Black Mountain. She will be 103 in May!
Thanks again for your love and support of her through the years.
Sincerely,
~ Cannan Hyde
Dear Broadway Baptist Congregation,
Emily and I would both like to thank all of you for your support over this past year. Through death, grief, cancer, and many unknowns, we have truly been humbled and blessed by Broadway, both through work and as a church family.
Thank you for all of your prayers, cards, food, and gifts, as it has helped us to keep moving forward and given us the means to support our own. I'm not sure how we would have made it without a loving church family.
Thank you,
~ Matthew and Emily Thompson
Dear Church Family,
Since July 2016, I have been on a journey that has tested my physical and spiritual well being. By the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the many prayers, cards, phone calls, flowers, and visits from this congregation, my journey has been blessed. Only the Lord knows how long my journey will continue.
I know that I do not walk alone. Our Lord is with us all. He has sent his army of Angels in the form of this congregation to help me walk this path. Thank you for walking this journey with me and reminding me of the power of love through Jesus Christ.

Shannan and I and our children would like to thank you for your prayers, visits, phone calls, and cards upon the passing of my mother on Christmas Eve. The love and concern that you showed us during such a busy time for all of you is a reminder of why we were drawn to Broadway so many years ago. We are blessed to have such a loving congregation.
Thank you again.

Like a sturdy dependable vessel on the High Seas, John Toma is like that ship that never waivers and is always there ready to carry that load.
John is painting hallways, stairwells, and anything else he can put a brush to, saving the Church a handsome amount of money. John says he will continue to paint until he has covered this vast ocean.
When you see John, thank him for his hard work and his dedication to keeping our ship afloat.

During our business meeting on November 16, the church approved a 2017 budget of $1,166,255. Thus far, we have received $469,510 in Personal Commitments (pledges) toward this budget. Thank you! Please return your commitment card or respond electronically via our website.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Grounds
Clean-Up Day on October 29. We worked really hard and
the Broadway campus is much prettier as a result.
Take a moment to appreciate our new park-like setting on the east side and the cleared-out property line on the west and south. We removed underbrush and vines, allowing trees
(and grass) to grow and light to shine in.
More exciting Grounds Committee news is coming - but in the meantime, look for our two Gingko trees to turn bright yellow very soon.
Dear Broadway Friends,
I can never fully express how very much I appreciate the love, prayers, and support shown throughout Ed’s illness. The ministers’ visits were especially meaningful and very helpful to our family. Broadway is a wonderful church and I am proud to be a member.
Love and Prayers,
Pat Goddin
Dear Friends,
Oh WOW! Ten years already! Thank you so much for all your good wishes surrounding my 10 year anniversary on church staff and for your incredibly generous gift card to one of my favorite restaurants! Broadway is, indeed, a wonderful church family. It has been, and continues to be, a joy to be your Congregational Care Coordinator.
Love,
Carol Lundberg
Over the past four months, I think it is safe to assume that we have had more deaths within our church than during any four month period in our church’s history. We have said farewell to very fine people. One of the real privileges of being a church is having the opportunity to celebrate the life and mourn the death of a person, and to accompany their family during this time of grief.
I’ve always been proud of how seriously Broadway takes this responsibility. And I want to thank all those who have helped us to fulfill that responsibility much more frequently than we would have liked during this season. I especially want to thank the Bereavement Team, a group of volunteers who prepare a meal or a reception when we have a funeral at Broadway. They organize and accomplish this with no staff oversight whatsoever, and they quietly and faithfully handle everything that comes up. My thanks also to our sexton crew, our administrative staff, and to Robert Gammon, who see to it that all the behind the scenes tasks are done with care.
