What a wonderful Easter Season. After the Resurrection,
Jesus appeared to many folks in what we now call Post-Resurrection. He
also came reminding his followers to share the story. On the day of
Pentecost, the original gift of the Holy Spirit is remembered as we
celebrate the birthday of the Church. Pentecost falls on May 23rd this
year and Broadway will celebrate. Look in this news letter for more
information about our celebrations!
Shalom,
Children’s Corner Ahoy there... Save these dates: June 22-26, 5:30-8:00 for Vacation Bible School! It will be an adventure on the High Seas as we learn about the life of Paul.

The Maryville District has been asked to put together 300 Food Buckets for the 2010 Holston Annual Conference Hands-On Mission Project to Liberia and Zimbabwe. Broadway has 30 buckets on hand to fill with the following list of food items. There will be boxes placed around the church for your food donations. We will also accept your monetary donation which we will use to cover the $5 shipping fee for each bucket. Our deadline is June 7, so we have ample time to fill all the buckets – and even more! Please be generous in the Wesley tradition!
Food Items Needed:

This will also be a chance to recognize our graduating seniors Erin Bruce and Challye Hays.
Talent Show Coming Up Soon May 19 is the date of our annual Talent Show which closes out the season for Wednesday Fellowship Suppers. We’re looking for all kinds of talent, and we know we have a lot of talented people in our congregation. Children, youth, and adults are encouraged to participate. Give Bob and Judy Hayes a call at 984-5149 to be a part of this delightful evening of entertainment. Don’t hesitate to volunteer! We want to see you do your stuff.
Squares Are Needed! Knitted or crocheted squares, that is! Yes, Bible School is calling all those who knit or crochet to help with a project. We need many squares that the children can sew together into blankets for the needy.
The squares should be 8-inch squares using Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn”, on size 8 needles or a G or H hook. They can be any color and all colors. The children will sew the squares together into blankets. Yes, that is plural! We want many, many squares so that we can make several blankets.
Bible School starts June 21, so get your needles and hooks out and get busy! What a great feeling we will have to be a part of a blanket for someone who doesn’t have one.

Taizé: A Time for Prayer, Renewal, Reflection and Worship
The Taizé service is based upon the historic Service of the Word
with some variations. Singing, silence, scripture and prayer permeate morning,
noon and evening prayers. Daily worship at Taizé draws from contemplative roots
where silence and reflection are central to worship and cyclical music allows
the participants to center their thoughts on prayer.
