Make your Christmas celebration complete and join us for worship on Christmas Eve.  We will welcome the arrival of the Christ Child with four styles of worship that share a common message:  Jesus Christ Is Born!

Communion, candlelight and Silent Night will be a part of each worship. 

Our 11:00 a.m. worship is perfect for those who may not be comfortable driving at night or families preparing to hit the road to grandma's!  Our Spirited Singers will lead us in familiar carols.  Pastor Nick will bring the message, and a Children's Story will be shared with all!  

Following worship, please join us for our Soup and Sandwich Luncheon in Fellowship Hall (see article below).\

The Ensemble will lead us in worship for this family-centered service.  A Christmas Story for children will be included during worship.

The Chancel Choir and pipe organ will provide the music for this evening worship. 

Our final worship will await the arrival of the Christ Child with a quartet of singers accompanied by acoustic instruments.  

Since its beginning nine Christmases ago, our Morning Worship at 11:00 a.m. with a Soup and Sandwich Luncheon following, has tripled in attendance!  Fellowship Ministry will provide the sandwich makings, but asks for your help to provide delicious homemade soup AND cookies  for the lunch.  Cookies and other desserts are needed as well.

If you can bring a soup or a plate of cookies, please contact Dixie Fisher, 474.3417, or by  email.

All donations for staff gifts should be turned into the Church Administrator, Ingrid Luckenbill, by Monday, December 17. 

This Sunday is technically our "Joy" Sunday for the Advent Season, but how could anyone not be filled with joy after last Sunday's Children's Christmas Program?  Thank you to Kay Cook, Ryan Kenney and Ellen Flottman for their writing and directing talents!  To view photos of last Sunday's program, click  here .  We ask that you refrain from sharing photos or video of children other than your on social media - thank you!

Once again, Don Harter will coordinate our Salvation Army Red Kettle Ringers for Christmas 2018.  And once again, Don has reserved a space for us at "our" Hy-Vee on West Broadway...and we are even close to Starbuck's!!  

Broadway members and friends can ring on Friday and Saturday, beginning November 30.  If you would like to reserve an hour or two (or more) for you, your family, your Sunday morning class or small group, contact Don by  email or by phone at 445.3258.

Last Sunday, December 9, was opening day for Room at the Inn.  The shelter is currently hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Church and will move to Fairview UMC on Sunday, December 23.  Broadway will host Room at the Inn January 6-26 in our Christian Life Center.  

No matter where the shleter is, volunteers and supplies are needed.  If you would like to volunteer at the shelter, visit   SignUpGenius.  You will find volunteer positions and duties listed there - just scroll down and find the date and shift you'd like!

In-kind donations, especially of perishable food items such as bread, milk and lunch meat, are always appreciated.  You can drop off perishable donations at the current shelter site beginning at 5:30 p.m.  If you have a donation of other items, you are welcome to drop those by Debby's office.

If you have any questions about Room at the Inn, please contact  Debby or  Don Day.
