Take Me Home: Returning to Solace, Safety, and Satisfaction
Come Home to Our Heritage
I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4: 1-6 NRSVUE
What does it mean that Broadway is part of a larger church family called The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)? An educational, inspirational, aspirational overview of the People of the Chalice.

You Are Invited!
Your Broadway Lead Pastor Search Committee invites you to join us for one of two Broadway Cafes. Each cafe will provide you with opportunities to share your thoughts about what our committee should be looking for in our next lead pastor and ideas about moving our church forward brightly and boldly into tomorrow.
The two dates for the Broadway Cafes are Thursday, October 19th beginning at 6:30 pm and Sunday, October 22nd beginning after the morning service. Both cafes will serve either snacks (Thursday) or a light meal (Sunday), so you'll want to arrive a few minutes early to get your food and beverage in order for us to begin on time.
The Broadway Cafes will function in what is called the World Cafe format. Some of you may have participated in World Cafes before. To organize the cafe effectively, it is important that we know as close as possible how many people plan to attend. There are several ways for you to RSVP. One is using the QR code included with this article, which will take you to a Sign Up Genius. You can also call, text or email Tina Van Ness at (573) 864-0626 or tinayvanness@gmail.com.
Your thoughts and ideas greatly matter as we make the very important decision of who will be our next lead pastor. We hope you will mark your calendars for one of the Broadway Cafes, complete an RSVP, and join us to share your insights. Child care will be provided for both cafes.

Bravo Broadway!
Don Harter successfully completed the first leg of his Cross Missouri Crop Walk (to St. Louis) and we met the challenge to provide 300 food items for the food pantry at the Center for Early Learning North. NOW.....let's do it again!!!
Don leaves this Friday for the 2nd half of his walk.....to Kansas City this time. And M.O.M. would like to challenge Broadway to double our donation to CELN and provide an additional 300 items for the children and their families. This time we will begin collecting children's socks and underwear (sized 3-7) as well. Let's see what we can do before Don gets to Kansas City for their Crop Walk on Saturday, October 14.
As always, thank you for your broad hearts that support Broadway's broad reach.

More Cross Walk Updates
Don Harter begins Trek 2 toward Kansas City on October 6 at the McBaine trailhead. We are again invited to join Don along the trail. You can walk, bike, or join Don for a meal.
Another important way to support Don as he walks, walks, and walks is to help him reach his goal of raising $5,000 for Crop Walk. Donors have supported Don with $1,600 to date but we are invited to get him closer to his goal. To donate visit his CROSS Missouri Crop Walk page.
Feet, Feats, and Free Feast
Don will be home after this second trek and back to Broadway on Sunday, October 15. He has invited all of us to celebrate the completion the inaugural CROSS Missouri Crop Walk. Join us at 10:00 am for free coffee and donuts. Thank you Don for the inspiration and the fun.

The Living Flame program is a unique offering from Contemplative Outreach of Missouri. This is a one-day-a-month retreat in which nationally and internationally known teachers of Centering Prayer will be Zoomed into five different locations across Missouri, as well as into individual's homes if they prefer to participate in that way. Broadway Christian Church's welcoming spirit has opened its doors to Columbia's Centering Prayer community, including several members of our congregation.
The schedule for the 7 one-day-a-month retreats is included in the flyer. The time of the meetings is 9-2, with an opportunity for Tai Chi from 8:20 - 8:50 for anyone interested. The total cost is only $75 for all 7 retreat days.
Robin Perso participated last year via Zoom with Contemplative Outreach - Idaho and found the program very rich and rewarding. He believes the in-person group will be even better. If you have any inclination towards contemplative prayer, this program is for you!
