This Sunday's Sermon... 
It was Apple who first put out a thank you note, advertising their cutting edge technology. "Here's to the crazy ones," they said. "The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently." The ad goes on and on. At the end it says, "We make tools for these kinds of people. Where some people see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do." Most of us just need someone to believe in us. Another's confidence often builds our courage and we risk failure because, by golly, we just might pull it off. Jesus knew this and had the gumption to say to a band of misfits who were surely intimidated by what was ahead of them, "You got this. You'll not only do what I'm doing... you'll do even greater things!" Could it be? Could you? Could I? Could our church? What would Jesus say?

Special Board Meeting Called
It is with enthusiasm for the future and by unanimous approval of the Executive Committee of Broadway Christian Church, that I announce a special meeting of the Board for Tuesday, September 29, at 7:00 PM (via ZOOM). The purpose of the meeting is to receive informational items from the Personnel Committee concerning the creation of three new positions in response to our ministerial vacancy and Debby Graham's upcoming retirement. Those three positions are laid out in September's Broadway Life; one full-time, two part-time. The Board will be invited to vote on the structure of the full-time position, Director of Youth Ministries and Faith Formation, intended to fill the third role on our Collaborative ministerial team along with Terry and Mark. As informational items, the Personnel Team will share two candidates selected to fill the full-time role and one part-time role (Director of Community Engagement) respectively. Candidates for the part-time Director of Communications role are being sought at this time. With much prayer, discernment, and consideration poured into this collaborative structure, I joyfully submit this announcement to you and covet your prayers as we live into our future with great hope and excitement.
-- Deb Ward, Board Chair

Pathways Begins Virtual Sunday School October 4 
September was a month to give our Broadway families time to adjust to online school for their children, and to re-acquaint themselves with things like algebra, chemistry and Shakespeare! And then there was the technology and the occasional glitches....
Children's Ministry has been actively surveying parents on when and how to begin Sunday School for elementary-aged children. Not wanting to add "one more thin" to parents' to-do lists, Children's Ministry will provide activity kits that may be done during the "live" class, or later with parents at another time. If you have not received notification from Miss Aimee, please contact her by email.

Family This Christmas! 
Yes - we said it, Christmas!

This year is a little different, so Mission and Outreach Ministry is encouraging you to visit the VAC web page and sign up to sponsor a family. Remember, VAC "families" come in all shapes and sizes, including single parents with multiple children, elderly couples or a disabled individual. The need for Christmas 2020 is sure to be great - sign up soon and continue this longstanding Broadway tradition!

The Disasters of 2020 Just Keep Coming...
