"For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands," 2 Timothy 1:6
Faith is personal. Though we all make the same Confession of Faith, "I believe that Jesus is the Christ, Son of the Living God, and accept him as Lord and Savior," the manner in which we come to know Jesus and grow as his disciples is different for each Christian. Paul had his Damascus Road experience. Peter met Jesus at the end of a fishing expedition. A Samaritan woman was asked by a parched traveler for a drink of water and ended up telling her entire village how she had just met the Savior of the world. You have a story all your own. It's still being told.
Interim Lead Pastor David Shirey has a story to tell. The 7th of Broadway’s 8 Keys of Discipleship is Share Your Faith. So, by way of introduction on Sunday, August 13, David will tell the story of how he came to faith and has grown in discipleship over the course of his lifetime. As he tells his story, you may hear echoes of your own story and invitations to consider pathways of discipleship you haven’t explored. Most importantly, David’s story may nudge you to consider your own story and, best of all, share it with someone else to their edification and delight.

Settled Pastor Search Committee Update
Our committee has now met twice and are currently focused on completing Broadway Christian Church’s congregational profile, gathering information and resources throughout the process.
In the next few weeks Taby Lane will assist our committee in creating a video highlighting the Broadway spirit. Stay tuned as you may be asked to contribute to the development of this video, which will be included in our pastoral call package as a means to put our best foot forward.
In September or October we will host opportunities for each member of the congregation to share what they hope for in our next lead pastor and to provide any feedback they believe is important to consider during the search process.
Please know how much we value and appreciate your willingness to regularly pray for the work of our team during this season in order to seek God’s direction for our precious faith community and to open the hearts and minds of quality potential candidates so they may respond to the call. We also request that all small groups and adult Sunday school classes collectively and intentionally pray for Broadway, for our interim lead minister, David Shirey, and for our search committee. God listens, cares deeply for his children, and therefore we put our faith in God’s grace and wisdom.
Tina Van Ness, Chair

Share this Invitation with Friends
The Sanctuary Choir of the First Baptist Congregational Church will be performing a FREE concert for Broadway and Columbia area friends on Saturday, August 19, 2023. Please plan to attend this early evening concert and invite your friends and neighbors!
The Fellowship Committee needs a few fabulous volunteers as well for the post concert dinner provided to the First Baptist Congregational Church Choir. We still need help preparing the meal, setting up Fellowship Hall, and cleaning up. You may sign up here to help.

Good News from the Pews
On Sunday August 6, I met 2 visitors in our midst. Adult brother "Jack" (Columbia) and visiting sister, "Jill" (Hannibal), Jill plans to retire and relocate her family to Columbia in 2024. Jack had clearly done his advance planning, mentioning David Shirey's Maple Loft, asking questions about terms of interim ministry, and read about our Core Values on our website.
Jack said that he has intermittently shopped for churches. Both he and Jill felt very welcomed and appreciated the variety of music including Deb Carr's keyboard gusto and the unified voices singing "LOVE LIFTED ME". Jack particularly called out BCC's veracity to "inclusion" pointing to my name tag with rainbow colored chalice and women serving worship leadership roles (Elder Charlotte and Minister Terry). This feedback felt like an endorsement that "we are on God's track" and I simply wanted to share. Blessings to each of you,
Mary Cunningham

BCC Scholarship Committee,
Thank you so much for selecting me to receive your scholarship. The money will go towards my education as I pursue a degree in Agribusiness Management/Public Policy, with hopes to attend law school. This scholarship will help me tremendously in reaching these goals.
Thank you so much, Avery Wiegand
