Summer Sunday School

Summer Sunday School

If your Sunday School class is not meeting this summer, there are still ways to get involved during the Sunday School hour. The Spiritual Formation Team has worked hard to create intergenerational Sunday School opportunities, and we hope you will find the Summer Service and Summer Seminars to be great ways to connect and stay involved throughout the summer. This is also a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend!

Spring Missions Sale Spotlight: Partners in Development Zambia

Pay-Double Preview Party — Friday, March 10, 6-8 p.m.

The Spring Missions Sale is coming up! All proceeds go to Deaf Teen Quest and Partners in Development, Zambia.

Retired CBF field personnel, Lonnie Turner, candidly affirms, "I work for my wife, Fran,” who founded Partners in Development (PID). Because of their 30-year history in Zambia, the Turners can see the needs and how to address them. Their focus is on health care, clean water, and education for girls. Lonnie is also passionate about the endangered black rhinoceros and teaching kids to play basketball. Money sent to PID is life changing to those receiving education and clean water. For more information about PID, speak with Paul Simmons, Betty Simmons, Janis Eberenz, or Phyllis McCoy, all of whom have visited the Turners in Zambia.

Fran and Lonnie will be speaking after Wednesday Night Dinner on Wednesday, March 8. Please call the church office at 502.895.2459 by 12 p.m., on Tuesday, March 7, to make a reservation.

Broadway's Mission Sermon Series

 Broadway's Mission Sermon Series

Twelve years ago Broadway adopted this mission statement:

We seek to learn, live and proclaim Christ’s message of grace, hope and love through worship, fellowship and service.

Sundays, February 12-26 will feature sermons unpacking the three key themes embedded in this statement, and, I would add, embedded in the DNA of Broadway. Every time we have asked questions about strategy or have tried to discern God’s direction, these three themes have come up.

Thanksgiving with Refugees: Andrea Smith

Thanksgiving with Refugees: Andrea Smith

During Thanksgiving week, I had the honor of serving Thanksgiving dinner to our newest neighbors: our city’s resettled refugees. The event was organized by Catholic Charities Migration and Refugee Services (MRS) in an effort to provide the first Thanksgiving meal to refugees in Louisville who were experiencing their first American Thanksgiving. I was joined by many Broadway and community members who volunteered their time to help in this wonderful celebration of gratitude.
