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.

Save the date for Broadway’s 5th Annual Creative Arts Camp, and be sure to let your friends and neighbors know about this unique event Broadway hosts for children each summer. Children who have completed first through sixth grades gather to learn about God through the arts, including choir, visual art, culinary art, and many different types of instruments!
This year, we will add a concurrent component for children in preschool and kindergarten. More information to come!
The season of Lent is an ancient tradition of the Church. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, Christians across the world participate in a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal.
This year, we will experience Lent anew through the theme God of Wilderness and Water. We invite you to journey with us as we meet God in unexpected places.

Special thanks to our resident artisan Claudia Wells for her inspiring artwork created exclusively for the journey of Lent.
In 1995, Thomas Cahill began a series he called The Hinges of History. Perhaps the two best known are How the Irish Saved Civilization and The Gifts of the Jews. In his introduction to the series, he wrote:
We normally think of history as one catastrophe after another… but history is also the narratives of grace, the recounting of those blessed and inexplicable moments when someone did something for someone else, saved a life, bestowed a gift, gave something beyond what was required by circumstance.

In January, the elementary children hosted friends from Buechel Park Baptist Church for a sleepover in the Family Life Center. The students played games together, worked on crafts, and had an evening devotion before bedtime and a movie. The children have already talked about how excited they are to do this again next year, and invite other churches!
In preparation for our Summer Service projects, the Love in Action Bins will be used to collect travel size toiletry items, disposable razors, and men’s crew socks throughout the month of March. Please bring items to the church and place them in the Love in Action Bins by the church office, in Friendship Hall, or in the Atrium by April 1.
Dear Friends,
I want to share with you the unique observation point that serving as a Deacon Chair has allowed me to have. I have concluded that church, our church, can be compared to both a busy ant colony and a finely tuned clock.
Ant colonies have multiple members that cooperate to accomplish extraordinary feats. From my view, this is what I see on any given Sunday. Our Facilities Manager has the building open early, makes coffee, and sets up tables and condiments in the Atrium.
In our last edition of the Broadway Beacon, we hinted that a new look for the newsletter was on its way. This issue is the first installment of our monthly newsletters!
Inside this issue, you will find updates and events coming up in the month of February. In future editions, you will see “look back” segments, where we share pictures and reflections on events that took place over the prior month.
We periodically send out timely announcements relevant to the church congregation through the REACH Alert system. If you aren't currently registered for this service, please visit www.reachalert.com.
