We are entering the

“thankful” time of year. Does

your family’s Thanksgiving

tradition include the sharing of

blessings around the table? In

Paul Koch’s November 4

sermon, the sharing of

blessings and “A Eucharist Thanksgiving” took many

forms, in many places. At Broadway, our Thanksgiving

communions may also be shared and felt in many ways

– from the taking of the sacrament in our Sanctuary to

the hole-y donuts we share in Fellowship Hall. We are

blessed by both, and we are thankful!

When Rick Frost and Kim Ryan returned to the

Broadway pulpit on October 28, they introduced the

idea of writing letters of gratitude and love to those who

are important in your life. Why not write a letter of love

and gratitude to Broadway, as an important part of your

life? In November, the sermon series will focus on the

grateful heart in each of us. What are you blessed to

be a part of, to see, to experience? We ask that you

take a moment and write a ‘love letter’ to Broadway and

your church family. What ministry or worship has

captured your heart and feeds your soul? Are you

blessed with a wonderful small

group? How did the Broadway

Spirit show itself in your life?

Our letters of gratitude will be

shared in the Narthex each

Sunday. You can sign your name

in letters a thousand feet high, or remain anonymous.

Hand-written or typed, snail-mailed or to a minister’s in-

box, send them! But we want to know, how has

Broadway been a blessing to you?

It is the season of gratitude – share your grateful

heart with your family.

With A Thankful Heart...

Write Your Letter of Gratitude for Broadway’s Ministries

BROADWAY MINISTRIES PAGE TWO

A Thank You Note from Nick...

The author and theologian Diana Butler Bass in

her book Grateful pens the words;

“With the morning birdsong, My heart echoes thank

you.

With the rustling sounds in the kitchen, My heart

echoes thank you.

With the early noise of the suburbs, My heart echoes

thank you.

With the awakening words of day, I add my voice and

say thank you.”

I am personally thankful for all the voices that have

echoed with thank you’s throughout October. From

the first voices of Bill & Narka Ryan, who thanked us

with tireless gratitude even after driving all the way

from their home in Baltimore Maryland, - to the soft

whispers of gratefulness spoken by Kim as she, Rick

and I stood at the invitation moment in the final

worship of our 60th celebration month; it was a whole

month of gratitude put on display!

Thanks to the hardworking members of 60th

committee co-chaired by Jack & Darlene Miles!

Clearly it was something that God prepared ahead for

us to experience at a much needed time in our

congregational life. Throughout it and with God’s

grace and abundance we even added 5 new

members!

If we allow it the energy and enthusiasm we have

experienced through the heritage month will become

a habit, a regular part of how we respond to God’s

call to be part of this church. We can continue to allow

the Broadway Spirit to surprise us, elicit a strong

emotional response, and to be a steadying

companion incorporated into the daily story of our

lives. So church, I urge you to choose gratitude, not

just for October or November, but as a way of life.

There is a discipline many of you are likely to be

familiar with called the Examine which some

Christians use to center themselves each day. I invite

you to add, into your daily practices, these five simple

steps:

1. Become aware of God’s presence.

2. Review the day with gratitude.

3. Pay close attention to your emotions.

4. Choose one feature of the day and pray for it.

Look forward to tomorrow.

This need not be a long or involved process. End

your day, noticing, reviewing and praying for all that

God has already done in your life, in our midst, and

for this community of faith we call Broadway Christian

Church. Then take our invitation to write your own

“Dear Church Family” love letter and when you do

this, you can even check off one of the “8 keys of

discipleship - daily prayer.”

This way of life is already at work here, guiding the

worthy and good work of our transitional minister

search committee, our lay leadership, and our staff.

We are all diligently at work discerning who and what

God is calling us to become and how we can help to

shape, direct, and become that very vision.

I am so honored to be serving with and alongside

each and every one of you. We need all of us to

continue to cultivate our awareness and to see our

gifts more often with clearer and more consistent

vision. From our Board Chair, to our Executive

Committee, to our Board, to our staff, to our

members, each needs to be invested in seeing

Broadway flourish not just now, but for the next 60+

years!

PAGE 3 THE SECOND FRONT

Many of you know the story of

how Broadway came to be the

home for the Myanmar Christian

Fellowship Church, which meets in

the Loft every Sunday morning at

11:30, after an hour of Sunday

School in our lower level

classrooms. The church almost

literally grew in our Community

Garden.

An immigrant couple from

Burma, Sarah and Zo, had become the leaders of the local

Burmese refugee community. Sarah worked with Don Day

to assign plots for Burmese gardeners (and still does).

After working with Don on the Garden project for two years,

Sarah and Zo approached Broadway about ‘nesting’ their

growing Burmese Christian house church. The details were

worked out, and the church has continued to use our space

for worship and Christian Education.

For almost seven years, the Burmese have called

Broadway home. Since Broadway is our home, too – what

better time than Thanksgiving to get the families together?

On Sunday, November 18,

at 5:00 p.m., Mission and

Outreach Ministry will host

a Friends-Giving Potluck

Supper in Fellowship Hall.

MOM will provide the

turkey, ham and rolls –

and we ask that you bring

a side dish or dessert to

share. Forms have been

placed in all church

mailboxes, and we ask

that you respond by Thursday, November 15. Forms can

be dropped in the offering tray on Sunday or left in the

office mailbox.

Our Friends-Giving will celebrate our continued

partnership with Myanmar Christian Fellowship and the

church’s newly called minister. MOM hopes that you and

your family will join us for a great meal and an opportunity

to make new friends!

A Celebration of Friends-Giving with Our Burmese Congregation

In worship bulletins this Sunday,

November 11, you will find a brief survey

on Broadway’s adult mission trips. Mission

and Outreach Ministry is asking for you

help to discern the direction of our adult

mission ministry for 2019. For the past

nine years, Broadway has focused on

international mission to El Salvador. This

is certainly still an option for the 2019 trip,

however, MOM would like to have

members’ input before making a final decision. There

have been several major natural disasters in the United

States in recent months, and Disciples Volunteering is

considering long-term

recovery mission stations for

both the Florida Panhandle

region and the Carolinas.

Thank you for your help,

as MOM works to provide

meaningful mission trips that

make a positive impact on

communities and individuals .

If you have any questions, please contact Debby at

445.5312 or [email protected].

2019 Adult Mission Trip—Where Would You Like to Go?

Our Partner in Education at the

Center for Early Learning – North

(CELN) is the home for three

distinct educational programs for

Columbia Public Schools. The

CELN facility house the Pre-

School Special Education

classrooms, the Parents As

Teachers staff, and is the home for several Title I Pre-

School classrooms, as well at the Title 1 program

administrator. In other words, there are a lot of hungry

teachers in the building when it is time for parent-teacher

conferences!

Since we are a church blessed with many wonderful

cooks, it seemed only natural that we should provide a

meal or two for these famished educators! On Monday,

November 12, and Tuesday, November 13, members of

Mission and Outreach Ministry (MOM) will provide soup

and salad (Monday) and a taco bar (Tuesday). And the

teachers would appreciate cookies and other desserts to

snack on during a break!

If you would like to help with the

meals, please contact Debby at

[email protected] or

445.5312 by this Sunday,

November 11. You can simply

drop of your contribution to the

meal or help MOM transport the

food to CELN. We hope to have enough soup and taco

fixings’ for at least 75 teachers and staff.

Box Top Update!

Thank you to Karen Rawlings, who has provided a

collection box for our Box Tops for Education collection.

You can drop off your Box Tops at the Narthex Welcome

Center any Sunday! Those Box Tops will be redeemed

for needed supplies and equipment at CELN.

Our November PIE Project: Feeding Our Teachers During A Long Day

It is early to discuss Advent

ministries, but Broadway’s Mission

and Outreach Ministry team is

already at work on this year’s Advent

ministry buffet of options!

Sign-ups to sponsor a Voluntary

Action Center Christmas basket

began last Sunday and will continue

until November 18. You, your family,

your small group or your Sunday

School class can provide Christmas gifts for a family, elderly

person or disabled person. You can designate the size of the

family you can sponsor, and can also sponsor multiple single

adults. Sponsors will receive their information

directly from Voluntary Action Center in the

next few weeks.

The Tree of Hope will begin on November

18 in Fellowship Hall. The Tree of Hope will

be decorated with cards that contain the

wishes and needs of local children in need.

Names are gathered from Coyote Hill, local

schools and area agencies that provide

ongoing support for children and families. To

sponsor a child, simply choose a card, sign it out in the log

and do your shopping! Gifts will need to be returned to

Broadway by Sunday, December 9.

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like... Broadway Advent Ministry!

C A L E N D A R In a wacky moment

during a Youth Group

planning session, it was

decided that Broadway’s

annual Youth Make A

Difference Day would sort

of become Youth Making

A Difference Differently

Day!

OK just kidding! The youth and their leaders are always

looking for ways to make things new and different, so that is how

our Youth Make A Difference Day on Sunday, moved to Saturday,

November 10!

All else has remained the same—same energetic young

people with a willingness to serve our Broadway family, same

guidance from our youth leadership, and almost certainly at this

time of year—same acres of leaves to rake and bag! If you have

not yet contacted Nick about YMDD, and have few weeks to pull

or leaves to bag—time is definitely running out! Contact Nick at

[email protected] and see if your name and project

can be added to the list.

When word reached the Broadway

family that David Dalton’s father had

passed to glory after living 101 years

among his friends, family and

community – it did not take long for the

Dalton’s doorbell to ring. Standing at

the threshold was Patsy’s partner in

CareLink ministry, Linda Poehlmann,

holding a container of muffins,

homemade apple butter, and, of course,

a fresh mum. It was the act of a

compassionate and caring friend, and it

shines a bright light on the ministry and small acts of

kindness done by CareLink volunteers for members of the

Broadway family every day.

Small acts of kindness are often chores that many of

us do for ourselves routinely. But when those routine

chores, like getting the Christmas tree out of the closet or

changing a light bulb in a ceiling fixture, become physically

impossible – CareLink’s Handy Helpers are there. When

members can no longer live independently, CareLink’s

Care Facility volunteers step in to spend time and share

stories with members. Members who are recovering from

an illness might receive a visit from the Casserole

Committee, taking one worry ‘off the plate,’ and providing

a hot meal for a family. And sometimes, CareLink is a

phone call or card, sometimes just checking in, or

sometimes sharing in times of celebration or of sorrow.

There are many other ways that CareLink lives by its

motto, “church family caring for church family.” From

Prayer Shawls to Spirited Singers, these Broadway friends

share their compassion with Broadway members and

friends they may know – or not. It is the acts of kindness

and caring that define the CareLink ministry and its

volunteers.

And the old saying that “what goes

around, comes around”? Patsy and

David are good examples of that old truth.

Enjoy the apple butter and muffins, Patsy

and David – CareLink’s latest recipients of

CareLink compassion.

CareLink Ministry News

For more than 15 years,

Ethel Okker visited Broadway

members who live in local care

facilities, updating them on

church news and activities,

listening to their stories and

sharing her own, and

sometimes just holding hands.

Her ministry predates

Carelink—it was a loving

service to our homebound.

Ethel has retired from

visiting care facilities, but her

ministry will continue. Joyce Wood Harter will now be the

caring presence for our members in care facilities. Joyce,

who like Ethel, is a retired nurse, will make regular visits to

our homebound—and along with our Broadway ministers,

will take the caring spirit of Broadway to our members who

can no longer join us in church.

What a Heritage Month!

A little over a year ago I

was reminded that in October

2018, Broadway Christian

Church will be 60 years old.

So, we need to get our whole

church involved, right? That

happened.

The church was divided

up into areas and various

groups worked hard to make us shine both inside and out.

Our history was brought into better focus with charter

members and displays along the wall by the loft. We recalled

the artistic gifts of our members in weaving, painting,

woodwork and writing by making them available to members

today (most will remain on exhibit until Advent). The church

was decorated and ready for a special event on October 7

which is still receiving accolades. Bill Stuart Ryan, the 30

year old first pastor of Broadway gave our message 60 years

after his first one. Chefs from our congregation prepared a

feast from the 50th anniversary

cookbook. A week later we heard the

voice of Don Lanier and Ken Watson

return, then Jacob Thorne with Rick

Frost and Kim Ryan presenting a

special message tailored for Broadway

each week.

I personally enjoyed the atmosphere,

familiar voices from the pulpit, music,

food, fellowship and friends so much

that I’m looking forward to the 70th anniversary!

What a month! Such things don’t just happen and our

gratitude and appreciation goes to each person who cleaned,

organized, researched, displayed, set up, put away, cooked,

sang, played, decorated and so much more. There are many

to thank and two are very special: Jack and Darlene Miles,

Co-chairs of the 60th Anniversary Celebration Committee.

Thanks for the Celebration, Broadway!

Looking Back and Moving Forward at Broadway

This is a desperate plea for some of you

younger folks to step forward and volunteer

to drive the church bus. Driving the bus is

easy. The most difficult part is helping

people with walkers and wheelchairs on and

off the bus. Last Sunday I was scheduled to

transport five people from the far north side

of Columbia and two more from the south side. For

some of them, this would mean a 2 1/2 hour bus ride. If

we had more drivers, we could use both busses and

shorten the ride. Fortunately, I was able to recruit

someone who lives on the south side to pick up those

two in their car. A huge thank you to Jane and Rick

Maguire for this assistance! I am a 78-year-old lady

with my own physical limitations driving the bus when

some people think I should be home in

my rocking chair! No one could ride the

bus to Rocheport last Saturday evening

because no driver was available. Already

a request has gone out for a driver for

next Sunday. So, PLEASE, young

fellows and gals, get your class E license

and volunteer to drive the bus once in a while. If we

have sufficient driver volunteers, no one would need to

drive more than once every four to six weeks. This is a

wonderful ministry for folks who want to come to church

but lack transportation. Please consider becoming a

part of it. My rocking chair is calling!

The Interim Transitional Minister Search Committee

has met several times since their appointment two

months ago. Step one was to listen to you, for which

we appreciate some 90 of our members expressing

their thoughts about our health as a congregation and

the direction we need to take. Two points emerged

most often: we desire increased fellowship

opportunities and more efficient methods of

communication. Each of the four sessions agreed that

as a congregation we have no issues then the rest of

the hour was usually spent discussing specific

concerns.

Step two was to complete the congregational

profile, a document that will inform candidates for both

the Transitional and “Settled” pastor what Broadway is

all about. It addresses demographics, worship styles,

personal qualities sought in a candidate, building

space capacity , mission work, past clergy and much

more.

Step three is to review interest and abilities of clergy

responding to our transitional minister call to find the

person that can help us move into the future. After

phone calls, visits and other contacts both by the

committee and those responding to the call, the

committee will select one person to go forward.

Final selection is defined by our bylaws that the search

committee will present one candidate to the board for

approval and assuming approval is given, the

congregation will vote to call this person for the

Transitional Ministry.

We have received encouragements to forego the

transitional minister and begin the search for our next

“settled” (a new term for me) pastor. The health and

input of our congregation could make this possible.

From the advice and counsel received from others

experienced in such a decision, the Transitional

Minister trained in this type of call can provide distinct

advantages for us. Since August, our leadership

(officers, executive committee, board, clergy) have

been re-examining our governance structure, pastoral

model, congregational health, replies from members,

spiritual growth, mission, finance and other

components. There are opportunities for nurturing the

vitality of our future and by the time we call our

“settled” minister next year, I believe that our

transitional minister will have helped us shape the path

to another 60 years of a vibrant Broadway Spirit.

Thank you, Broadway members, for being part of

the body of Christ in our world,

John

the Chamber decided to do

something nice for Heather!

The Chamber presented

Heather with a lovely tree that

Thanks also to the Sprouse family for provding a tree in

honor and membory of their sons. It will provide a shady

Broadway’s Heritage Month Was A Month to Remember

Some might think that the Boston Red Socks

had the best October ever, but we at Broadway

would beg to differ! From our October 7

Homecoming Sunday with Broadway’s founding

minister, Rev. William Ryan—to the memorable

reunion of Rick Frost and Kim Ryan on October

28—Broadway members and friends had a month of

memorable Sundays! Thank you to Bill, Rick and

Kim; and also to Don Lanier, Ken Watson, Jacob

Thorne and Hannah Fisher Ryan. Thanks also to

Jack and Darlene Miles for leading the 60th
