 “In
God’s Hands”
Scripture tells us that no one can be snatched out
of the Father’s hand or the hand of Jesus. If we are considered to be
one of God’s flock, then we will be in the protection of God’s hands.
God cares about us. This is a scripture of encouragement. We are
surrounded with the providence of God’s love and power. Do you feel
secure?
We live in a world of insecurity. Terrorism, religious fanaticism and
individualized spirituality are evident. There is so much today that
tries to trap us and place us under it’s control. The relationship we
find with Christ and in community is so vital to our Christian faith. We
invite you to come and receive a blessing in worship. We will be
installing church officers and pledging ourselves to further Christian
service under the protection and guidance of realizing we are in the
hands of God. We hope to see you Sunday.
Blessings,
 Odyssey

January 18-20 Resurrection 2008!
This is one of the largest gatherings of Holston Conference Youth for the
year. It is also a great time for Christ to move in the hearts of our youth.
Please pray for our group. We will be taking 28 youth and 9 adults on the
retreat. Pray for everyone to have a safe time; pray for the Holy Spirit to move
in our youth and leaders. The theme this year is “The Radical Way” using I
Timothy 4:11-12. “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but
set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in
purity.” Thanks for your prayers and support of our youth!

We extend our sincere love and Christian sympathy
to Eric Waters and family on the death of his grandmother, Mary Waters.
Sign-Up For Supper Clubs
It’s that time of year again - it’s time to sign
up for Broadway’s Supper Club. This is an adults only group for singles
or couples who meet once a month in someone’s home for brunch, lunch or
dinner or at a restaurant - whatever works best for your group. It’s a
wonderful way to make new friends and get to know other members of our
Broadway family. We will have sign up sheets in the bulletin on January
13 and 20. Everyone who signs up is invited to come and meet your group
at a potluck dinner at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 23. You will be
seated with your group to get acquainted and plan your get-togethers.
Looking forward to seeing everyone with covered dishes and calendars in
hand on 1/23. If you have any questions, please call Debbie Taylor at
983-8221 or Barbara Tiller at 981-9006.

 Older
Adult Ministry
Broadway UMC has formed the Golden Council whose job is
to work with our Older Adult Ministry. The council has put together a
survey which they would like all senior adults (65 and older) to fill
out.
Participating in the survey is an excellent opportunity to provide
feedback to the church on what it is doing well and where it needs to
make improvements. Your responses will help form the Golden Council’s
policies and practices going forward.
The survey will be done by members of the council or other volunteers as
needed. We will be doing the survey in person to answer any questions
you might have on any particular issues .
Thank you for your consideration in this survey request. If you have any
questions at this time, contact Bill Teffeteller at 579-9302 or Bob
Ergenbright at 982-6192.
