Thursday, April 18th at 7:00 p.m. This service will focus on the last few hours of Jesus’ time with his disciples as they shared the Seder Meal together. The Chancel Choir will provide special music and we will share in the Service of Holy Communion in remembrance of that night, and an opportunity to wash each other’s feet as Jesus modeled that night

Sunday Morning Small Groups
One of the focuses of the Nurture Committee is to increase the attendance of our Sunday School Classes. We feel that a focus on small groups will be more inviting to members and visitors. Soon there will be information sheets describing the Sunday Morning Small Groups that are available for children, youth and adults as well as a brochure listing all our Small Group options. Please look for this information around the church as well as on our website to find ways you can connect more at Broadway. Relationships are built in small groups!

We are looking for volunteers to help with hosting (handing out water) and helping with children's crafts.
Email or call the church office if you can help!

Help Welcome Estonian Guests April 28.
The Outreach team invites Sunday School classes and all interested church members to a light breakfast discussion on April 28 during the 9:30-10:15 Sunday School hour in the Fellowship Hall. We will welcome Hindrek Taavet Taimla and his wife Veronika from Estonia. Taavet is on faculty at the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary and Veronika is active in children’s ministries. Several years ago, members of our congregation visited Estonia, and Estonian youth also visited Broadway, so our guests are known to many Broadway members. Taavet will speak at both services on April 28, and the 9:30 hour gathering will be an opportunity to hear remarks and interact with both of our guests more informally. Come and get acquainted/reacquainted and learn more about the Estonian church!

Could you find the church nursery? Do you know the history of the stained glass windows? Lance Morehead, our resident tour guide, is offering a walking tour of the church facilities on Sunday, April 28 after the 10:30 a.m. service (about 11:45 a.m.). Meet at the front of the sanctuary.

We are bringing back our beloved Communion for Shut-Ins ministry, with a new look and a new name, and we hope you will consider taking part. The youth and adults will be joining together for Communion Caroling! We will all go together to visit our shut-ins, at their home or their nursing or rehab facility. Not only will we serve Communion to folks who can’t make it to church, we will share some hymns as well. Before heading out on our visits, we will have lunch together in the Fellowship Hall, where Pastor Laura will be with us to send us off with a prayer. We are excited about this new adventure in God’s service and look forward both to sharing and receiving many blessings! If you have participated before in serving Communion to Shut-Ins, you know that the showers of blessings are generous, indeed. If you would like to be part of this new but familiar ministry, please contact the church office. Projected launch is Sunday, May 5. Coordinators are Mary Lynn Roy and Kelly Zunich.
