“What
About God?”
There are many people today who have
a hard time understanding the relationship between Jesus and God. The
disciples had this difficulty as well. Philip asks Jesus how they can
see God and be satisfied? Jesus basically says look at me. Have you
experienced God through Jesus Christ? The scriptures of John 14:8-14
helps us with this. In Jesus we see the character of God. In Jesus we
see the purpose of God. In Jesus we see the method of God.
What do others see in you? If God and Jesus are one, what have we
learned from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Jesus came to redeem our
sinfulness and give us life. Life that is full of meaning, purpose, and
fulfillment. What about God? God loves you with a grace that changes us
for the better. Come and learn more about Jesus. Come and receive a
blessing.
In Christ,
CAN
Sunday Is This Week
As part of the ongoing fight against hunger in Blount County, this
Sunday, February 3, will be CAN Sunday. This is the time each month when
we bring non-perishable items to Sunday school and worship to share with
our neighbors in the area who are less fortunate. Items needed include
peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, flour, corn meal,
sugar, shortening, dried beans, canned meat and tuna, macaroni and
cheese, and paper products. There is also a place to put donations for
the Helping Hand Fund in the narthex. Please be generous.

Ash Wednesday Service Wednesday,
February 6, is Ash Wednesday, a time for repentance and the beginning of
Lent. Following the Wednesday Fellowship Supper at 6:00pm, we will
gather in the sanctuary for the traditional Imposition of the Ashes. At
Broadway, the ashes are from the burnt palm leaves of the Palm Sunday
service in 2007.
Ashes signifying repentance may be found both in the Old and New
Testaments, in Job 42:3-6, Jonah 3:6, Luke 10:13, and Matthew 11:21. The
ash cross placed on the forehead is an outward sign of our sorrow and
repentance for sins. While the ashes are imposed, the pastor cites
Genesis 3:19, “Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall
return.”
The Chancel Choir will sing Carl Nygard’s anthem, Psalm 86, using verses
6-7, “Hear my prayer when I cry from the lowly place; in your mercy,
Lord, let me stay; hear my voice, O Lord, when I pray.”
Menu: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas, salad and apple cobbler. Cost:
$6.00 - adult, $4.00 - children, $18 - family. Reservations must be in
by 10:00 on Tuesday.
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.

“Souper
Bowl Sunday”
This will be one of the easiest fund-raisers ever!
Join us this Sunday, February 3, as our youth participate in the
nationwide Souper Bowl Sunday. Youth groups across the country will be
collecting donations for food pantries and other local missions in their
communities. Broadway’s “Youth in the Way” will also be collecting. Our
monies will go to the Food Connection and our Helping Hand Fund.
Now the easy part! All you have to do is come to church. The youth will
donate $1.00 for everyone that is in church. Wasn’t that easy - no
fumbling for change - no need to get a quarter back, just be a receiver
of a gift. Now, if you would like to go for extra yardage, the youth
will be available to collect any donations you would like to make. Help

Caleb Kirik Earns Eagle Scout
Some of you may remember the Kirik family who attended Broadway UMC
until 2005 when a job change relocated them to north Alabama near
Huntsville.
Their son, Caleb, began scouting while the family lived here in
Maryville. When the family relocated, Caleb continued in scouting
joining Troop 83 in Madison, Alabama.
Caleb received his Eagle Scout Rank December 9, 2007. Photos and a local
(Alabama) newspaper article are on the bulletin board outside the W. R.
