For many years, Broadway's Service Ministry has partnered with The Global Market at Community UMC to bring the Market's fair-trade gift items to our members during the Advent Season.   This year, the SERV Sale will be in Fellowship Hall on December 4 and 11, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.  Come by the tables and shop for a unique, hand-crafted gift for someone who appreciates quality and fair-trade equity for the craftspeople in the developing world who produce these beautiful and useful gifts!  

Can you help a child this Christmas?  Twenty-two names remain on our The Tree of Hope in Fellowship Hall.  Each card will have clothing sizes, some needs and some wishes for Christmas.  Simply sign out the card in our log book, do your shopping and return the gifts (unwrapped) in a sack or bag with the Tree of Hope card attached.  Gift receipts are always appreciated. 

The names and needs come from children at Coyote Hill, Rainbow House and Columbia Public Schools. All gifts should be returned to the Tree of Hope or church office by December 11. 

It is time (or past time) to decorate your home for the holidays!  Broadway's Youth Group is here to help, with fresh and beautiful Christmas trees and wreaths for sale this Sunday.  Stop by their table just outside the Narthex doors this Sunday!  And - if you didn't get your jar of hot cocoa mix, they will have the jars available for purchase as well.

Bring your non-perishable food donations to Fellowship Hall this Sunday! 

Each Advent Season, one Sunday is chosen to be Poinsettia Sunday, when our Sanctuary, Narthex and Fellowship Hall are decorated with beautiful, live poinsettias.  Each of these lovely holiday flowers is sponsored by a Broadway member in celebration or memory of a special person or event.

This year's Poinsettia Sunday will be December 11.  In your church mailbox, you will find a form to sponsor a poinsettia.  Each plant costs $6.50, and may be taken home following the 11:15 a.m. worship.  Please order your poinsettia by December 5.  

The bell-ringers are already out at local stores, and lots of help will be needed this Christmas season to help the Salvation Army meet its goal!  Broadway bell-ringers will ring at the east (indoors!) entrance of our West Broadway     Hy-Vee on:

*Friday, Dec. 2 from 10:00 am - 8:00 pm

To schedule a time for you, your family, your small group or your Sunday School class to ring in December, contact Don Harter at 445.3258 or at harterd@missouri.edu.   Help is especially needed on Fridays!

Broadway has an impressive number of good cooks - and probably even more folks whose idea of baking is visiting   

Hy-Vee!  All Broadway cooks and not-so-much-cooks are invited to share their favorite treats on Goodie Sunday, December 11!

There won't be any donuts on Goodie Sunday, so we are depending on all of you to populate the Fellowship Hall tables with an assortment of yummy treats.  Connections Ministry will provide hot apple cider - don't miss this delicious Broadway Christmas tradition!

Our bus campaign total to date: $58,862! 

It's not too late to make your donation and get us to our goal of $60,000! To make a donation to the Get On the Bus campaign, contact Ingrid.    If you have questions, contact Transportation Chair Jack Miles at 445.5024.

Room at the Inn will be opening for the winter season this Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist Church.  The shelter will move to Broadway on January 2 and stay with us through the morning of January 29.

Room at the Inn Training at Broadway will be December 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Each Sunday, Broadway's beautiful Chancel flower arrangements are sponsored by our members, as a way to commemorate, celebrate or remember a special event or person.  An acknowledgement is our Sunday worship bulletin includes the sponsor's name and special event or person.  

If you would like to sponsor our Sanctuary flowers, look for the Flower Chart in the Narthex next Sunday.  Simply sign your name next to the Sunday that you'd like to sponsor, along with your dedication.  The cost is $35, and following each Sunday's service, these beautiful flowers are re-arranged and shared with our homebound members.
