Salvation Army Thanksgiving Lunch
We are so thankful to be back for our 2nd year to feed those in need & need a place to spend Thanksgiving on the actual day. We have been blessed with food donations, people giving money & their time. It's so amazing to see how much people love our community. We are still in need of a few items to make this a traditional Thanksgiving meal.  
      *Turkey: 4-5 turkeys already cooked
     *Sweet Potato Casserole: 4-6 baked in an aluminum pan
     *Ham: 3-4 precooked
*Apple Pie 3-4
      *Pecan Pie: 3-4

If you are able to donate any of these items, please let me know. Feel free to email me at:  juliejlowe12@gmail.com

Thank you so much for helping to make this meal possible. We are grateful to each & every one of you.

Hope and Help for Puerto Rico 2019 Mission Trip
We hope to finalize our Volunteers in Mission trip to Puerto Rico to help with rebuilding after the devastating hurricane of September 2017.  Please consider joining our team February 23 – March 2, 2019 (Saturday-Saturday). The work will be hard, but we will give the people of Puerto Rico the gift of extra hands to rebuild, and the hope and reassurance of not having to face difficult situations alone. We will be rebuilding homes and sanctuaries, though we will not know the specific job until two weeks before we arrive. Construction skills are helpful, but not necessary. The minimum age is 18. Lodging is church camp/dorm style and the construction work varies but there will be a construction manager to direct our work. There will be a team meeting on Tuesday, December 11 at 7:00 pm. If you have interest and/or questions please contact Mart Margaret Eckhardt, marymeckhardt613@gmail.com.

Ringing the Broadway Bell

On Sunday morning at 11:00, our church joined many others across America by ringing our bell in honor of Veterans day/Armistice Day.

Daily Times had a write up in their paper. If you would like to read it, click here

Kelly Zunich recorded the ringing of the bell on Sunday morning. If you would like to see the video or us ringing our new bell, click here
Maryville Youth Bonfire
9 Broadway youth plus 3 adults joined with more than 85 youth and adults from Broadway, 1st UMC, Maryville and Fairview UMC for a Bonfire on November 11. 
 The event was held at Cunningham Farm in Walland. Hot dogs and s’mores were roasted over the open fire. There was also a time for worship, with singing led by Pastor Laura and Alan Eleazer. These churches (plus others) are planning for more events in February and April.
The weather should be fine for our next outing this Saturday, November 17. We’re headed to the Big Creek Trail in the Smokies. The trail follows the creek along an old railroad bed so is relatively flat (for a Smokies Trail). There are also beautiful waterfalls. We will leave from the church at 9:30 a.m. Bring a packed lunch and be sure to dress for the weather. Please make a reservation through the church office so that we can let you know of any schedule adjustments. We also have a hike scheduled for December 15.
All Are Welcome! Not just for "Families."
We will gather in the Church parking lot at 2:00 and carpool to Metcalf Bottoms parking lot. From there we will hike up to Little Greenbriar School house. The entire trail is made of dirt and is well-worn after years of use. Tall trees and beautiful foliage envelop the trail in a natural canopy, and the Little Greenbrier River runs just parallel to the trek. Keep in mind that many of the trees are very old and have large roots that cross the trail.
Little Greenbrier School is a small log cabin located at the end of Metcalf Bottoms Trail and is open for touring. The cabin was built in 1882 and used as a school house and church for more than 50 years. Though it is more than a century old, the tiny structure still contains an old blackboard and desks that were used by the small Little Greenbrier community many years ago.
Pack water and a snack. Email the church office@broadwayumc.net to sign up. Please include a cell phone number in case we need to change plans at the last minute.
Come join us Sunday, November 18! United Methodist Women will have their annual Luncheon and Country Store. The Country Store will be open from 9:00 am - 1:30 pm. Lunch will be served at 11:00 am and 12:15 pm. Menu will be soups and sandwiches.
If you would like to contribute items to the Country Store contact Patsy Russell p atsydrussell@charter.net   or 977-8773. The Luncheon and Country Store is the largest UMW fundraiser of the year and proceeds help fund our mission projects. To make a reservation CLICK HERE or call the church office 865-982-6192.

Directions to The Way Forward: Future Possibilities for The United Methodist Church
 In February of 2019, a special called session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church is considering recommendations around issues of human sexuality and the unity of the church. Rev. Catherine Nance from 1st UMC, Maryville and Rev. Laura Rasor from Broadway UMC are hosting a 90 minute informational session to learn more about how the UMC works, the historical background of the disagreements, and the recommendations that will be considered at General Conference. The session will be offered on a variety of different days and times and at both locations, with the hope that you will take the opportunity to attend one.
Session options:
  • Sunday, November 25th at 7:00 p.m. at 1st UMC
  • Monday, November 26th at 8:00 a.m. at 1st UMC
  • Wednesday, November 28th at 5:00 p.m. at Broadway
  • Sunday, December 2nd at 2:00 p.m. at Broadway
  • Tuesday, December 4th at 10:30 a.m. at 1st UMC
  • Tuesday, December 4th at 7:00 p.m. at Broadway
 
Catherine and Laura will both be present at each session, and the same material will be addressed at each. You need to attend only one session, and are invited to attend whichever time and place works best for you.
All women are invited to attend a very special Advent evening here at Broadway. On Monday, December 3, at 6:30 pm, our fellowship hall will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland of exquisite tables decorated by various ladies in our church. The evening includes dessert and beverages and our featured guest, Beth Green. Beth is a gifted humorist and storyteller and delights her audience with tales of life as a Methodist minister’s wife. She has previously been with us at our ladies retreat and performed at Broadway’s Got Talent.
Preregistration is required. Please use the sign up sheets in the pew pads, or call the church office. We will have gluten free and sugar free desserts available. There is no cost for the evening, how ever an offering will be taken with a portion going to Alex’s Lemonade Stand for childhood cancer research.
Deadline for registration is Sunday, November 25. Please make your plans now to join us for an evening like no other before here at Broadway.
