Volunteers Needed!
The church Knit-Wits group are working on the Angel Blanket Project and need your help. This project is sponsored by the Tennessee Basketmakers Association in conjunction with the local Odds and Ends Basket Makers of Maryville. Baskets with baby blankets and pillows are furnished to the Breavement Program of East Tennessee Children’s Hospital as a service for families who lose newborn or premature babies. The Knit-Wits are able to make the blankets from their own resources, but the pillows are made from fabric and must be sewn. The pillows should be made of a soft, satin-like material, in white or cream with cotton barren in the approximate size of 11 X 14, oval or rectangle. We need help from other volunteers for making the pillows. Please call Bobbie Monger at 770-361-9788 for additional information. This is a wonderful program to support parents and families who are grieving.

Broadway Hikers
Our next outing is on Saturday, December 15. Weather permitting, we’ll head for a short hike on the Chestnut Top Trail in the Smokies. The first ½ mile of the trail is steep but then it is more of a slight grade after that. After the hike, we’ll go for lunch in Wears Valley via the new “Missing Link” portion of the Foothills Parkway. Bring $$ for lunch. We’ll leave from the church at 9:30 a.m. Be sure to pack water, a snack and dress for the weather. Please make a reservation on the pew pads or through the church office so that we can let you know of any schedule adjustments.

Give A Christmas Gift To The Puerto Rico Mission Team
The Christmas Eve offering this year has been designated by Church Council to fund Disaster Response, with priority given to the Puerto Rico mission trip February 23- March 2, 2019. Broadway is sponsoring a team of eight volunteers including Laura Rasor, Bill Ribble, Ken Taylor, Mary Margaret Eckhardt, Bob Eckhardt, Reid Evans, Alex Rios (from Maryville College), and Abel Carrico (chaplain at the Holston United Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville). Our team will be part of the ongoing rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico following hurricane Maria in 2017. The work is coordinated by UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) and the Methodist Church of Puerto Rico. Generous donations have already been made by the Outreach Committee and anonymous individuals. Your support on Christmas Eve will cover remaining team expenses and a donation toward construction material costs in Puerto Rico.
For further information, contact Mary Margaret Eckhardt at marymeckhardt613@gmail.com.
