As we step into Holy Week, you're invited to reflect on the powerful story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. In Luke 19, we witness the crowd's joyful celebration, the cloaks laid down, and the shouts of "Blessed is the king!" But what might it have been like to be part of that moment—not just in the crowd, but carrying the weight of the King?
Join us this Sunday for worship and a message titled "Were You There on the Donkey?" We'll explore what it means to follow Jesus with humility, to bear his presence into the world, and to prepare our hearts for the week ahead.
Bring a friend, come with curiosity, and let’s journey toward Easter together.

35th Annual Habitat Sale – Over $30,000 Raised!
We are thrilled to share that the 35th Annual Habitat Sale raised over $30,000 to help support a local family through Show Me Central Missouri Habitat for Humanity. What an amazing testament to the power of community and compassion!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated items, volunteered their time, shopped the sale, and helped spread the word. Without your dedication and generosity, none of this would be possible.
Take a moment to check out some photos of our incredible volunteers in action and watch the video from Saturday morning’s sale—it’s a beautiful glimpse of what happens when hearts and hands come together for a cause that truly matters.
Together, we are building more than homes—we’re building hope.

Broadway Youth and Pastor's Class Stays Busy
This past Sunday's youth gathering was filled with meaningful moments and fun for our youth group! We dove into Psalm 139, enjoyed delicious tacos, and played a lively round of 2 Truths and a Lie with exciting prizes, including Color Street nail strips. We then got our nails done together, making it a fun and memorable gathering.
The Pastor's class group also participated together to visit and sit at the feet of Hilda Moore, who turns 100 this month. We asked her about her faith, listened to her wisdom, and each took a turn praying for her. It was truly a special and heartwarming experience for all involved.
Thank you to everyone who made this Sunday so meaningful!
