Glory to God

This Sunday, immerse yourself in the magic of the season by attending the "Glory to God" Christmas Pageant – a dazzling spectacle presented through the work of Broadway Children and their staff. Through music and drama, the pageant beautifully illustrates the timeless story of the birth of Jesus Christ, spreading a message of love, hope, and joy.

Embrace the true spirit of Christmas this year. Join us at the "Glory to God" Christmas Pageant. Let the message of love and hope resound as we come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus and rejoice in the glory of God.

Dear Broadway Community and Friends,

“Steadfast love” is one of my favorite phrases from the Book of Psalms. It speaks to me of the unchanging nature of God’s infinite love and care regardless of my circumstances or situation. How I’ve ended up where I am, or which paths I’ve taken to get here, don’t matter nearly as much as God’s boundless, steadfast love and where that leads.

Steadfast love is an English translation of the Hebrew word hesed. I learned recently that hesed is used in 247 different verses of the Old Testament. It's primarily used to describe God's love toward us, but it’s also used to describe our love for each other. Hesed is a word unique to Hebrew that combines the meanings of “love” and “loyalty.” Mercy and loving-kindness are also common translations. And hesed is not just a feeling, but an action. It intervenes on behalf of loved ones and provides care. So, I guess it’s

really no surprise that hesed comes to mind when I think of our congregation’s warm and welcoming spirit, rich history, and intrinsic values of Broad Hearts, Broad Minds, and Broad Reach.

Broadway’s tradition includes the opportunity to express our gratitude to our ministerial team and staff with a special gift at Christmas. Would you please join me in saying "Thank You" to those who work tirelessly, and often behind the scenes, on behalf of our church and congregation? Your gift can be made by placing it in the Sunday Service offering plate (please mark as Staff Gift), through the mail, or online via Realm by no later than December 18, 2023, in order for it to be delivered by Christmas. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

“The point is this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as they have decided in their heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

In prayer that your Advent and Christmas Seasons are abounding in steadfast love.

Robin Perso, Board Chair
