The weekly newsletter of Broadway United Methodist Church

Pondering Ministry
On January 20 our worship will be led by our Lay Leader, Kevin Teffeteller, as he addresses ministry with several of our retired clergy. Our youth will be at the Resurrection event in Gatlinburg. Several persons will be sharing about their life in ministry. We invite you to be a participant in this service. We are all ministers. God is calling all of us to serve in His kingdom.

                                                Blessings,

Bereavement Committee Volunteers
We are beginning a new year for the Bereavement Committee. We are keeping our list of dedicated volunteers for preparing food and serving meals for families at the death of a church member. If anyone who was not signed up previously and would like to be, or someone who was on the list and would not be available to volunteer anymore, please contact Jan Cooper at 983-6979 or Gerri Bradley at 977-8772. Call Gerri for more information, if needed.

We thank all the volunteers who, in the past year, gave their time, service, and expertise in preparing food or serving the meal for the relatives of our departed members.

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!

Upper Room Sponsors Silent Auction

The Upper Room class will sponsor a silent auction to benefit the campership fund at Camp Wesley Woods, February 16-17. Items will be on display and bidding will begin at the Youth Spaghetti Supper on February 16. Bidding will end at 9:30 on February 17 so that the names of the highest bidders may be announced at the 10:30 service. Please be prepared to pay for your item after the 10:30 service. We would like to ask individuals, Sunday school classes or other groups to please contribute items or services to be auctioned off for this worthy cause. Thanks to your generosity in our previous auctions, many children who could not afford to attend camp have been able to spend a week in the great outdoors learning about God and making friends. If you have any questions, please call Barbara Tiller at 981-9006 or Nikki Fordham at 977-4185.

Last Chance to Join 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 again this Sunday, January 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.
