Risking
Talents
The Scriptures tell us that God is willing to give us
talents to use for His kingdom and work. If we are given talents and do
not use them, they can be taken away. Do you have talents that have been
given to you by God that you are not using to their fullest intention?
Talents need to be developed and used for God’s glory. A talent is often
a spiritual gift that God will multiply to help us help others.
Sunday we will look at the talents that have been granted by God. Do we
have the courage and faith to risk these talents? Are we doing our part
to build up the kingdom of God, or are we still waiting for God to build
us up? God cares about you, but God is looking for willing workers who
are faithful and loyal to follow His will and way. Where do you fit? Are
you working for God, or still waiting for God to work for you? See you
in church.
In Christ,

Broadway Represented Well At District Mission Journeys
BUMC had a dynamic display among all the churches
represented at the District “Sharing Our Mission Journeys” program this
past Sunday at Faiview UMC. We enjoyed talking about our own missions
with other churches, and we came away with new ideas. We were amazed at
the mission trips and programs churches smaller than Broadway are able
to support. It gave us renewed spirit that we all are working to spread
The Good News of Jesus Christ wherever we can.
Bishop Swanson called on us to continue to give more of ourselves, not
just our money; Jesus wants us, not just what our pockets hold.
Our Mission display is set up in the narthex. Take a look at all you do
as a member of BUMC. Have we left something off? Do you have a new idea?
E-mail the church of give us a call: Barbara Tiller (981-9006) or Nan
Taylor (984-8585).

Invitation to the Old Testament Continues with
BONDAGE This Sunday evening at
6:00pm in the library, the short term Disciple Bible study of the Old
Testament will focus on the Moses saga and liberation theology. Anyone
wishing to join the group may come and participate this Sunday. Thus
far, the study has included an overview of the development of the Old
Testament and the covenant relationships with Abraham and his immediate
family. The group is lively and the information challenging. Come and
join us.
Chancel Choir Sings About God’s Omnipresence Marie Pooler’s poignant, descriptive depiction of verses 9-10 of Psalm 139 make us aware of God’s continual presence in our lives. God’s guidance helps us find our way throughout our life. Even in the dark times of our lives, God comforts us and guides us through His grace and mercy. When we search for the many talents and gifts He provides us, He helps us discern His will and enables us, not only to find our talents, but to also use them for His kingdom on earth.

Chancel Choir Joins College-Community Choir The
Chancel Choir will join with the alumni choir at Maryville College for a
farewell concert in Wilson Chapel in May. During the next few months,
the choir will sing selections included on that concert. The music has
been arranged in each service of worship to support the theme of Rev.
Moore’s sermon and scripture text. More information will follow
concerning the May concert.
Anyone wishing to join the choir and participate in this tribute to the
musical heritage of Maryville College and its impact on our community is
invited to rehearsals on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm in the Choir room
on the fourth elevator level. The May concert will be the last event in
Wilson Chapel before it is torn down to begin construction of the new
College-Community Fine Arts Center jointly supported by Maryville
College and the cities of Alcoa and Maryville.
