“To
Take Control”
Sunday is Father’s Day. Dads will be recognized for their
contribution of love, nurture, and support. Dad’s will be seen as the
earthly fathers who are hopefully showing the love of Christ Jesus to
their families. Some dads have not been great examples of faith. Many of
us could do better. We must consider where we have placed our trust. Is
it in God, or our own resources and so called power? Control seems to be
an illusion. Things happen to us, or to our loved ones, that are beyond
our control. God is the one who is in control.
Sunday we will look at trust. Do we trust God’s work and promise, or do
we just trust ourselves? When we give our issues to God, we begin to
trust His direction. God has promised to guide us and deliver us to a
better state of being. Come and receive a blessing. Come and realize God
is in control, and we are not. Come and see we can live by the power of
God’s grace and direction.
In Christ,
Offering Taken To Annual
Conference
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the Missions
Committee!! We had a very successful Spring Missions campaign due to the
generosity of our Broadway family. As you know, the Holston Conference
asked us to fill school kit bags for Liberia and to collect a special
offering to support mission work in Brazil. We set a goal for BUMC to
fill 15 school kits - we exceeded our goal and sent 26 bags to Liberia!
The Conference hoped to receive a $300 contribution from Broadway to go
to Brazil - we surpassed that goal as well and sent a check to Annual
Conference for $1070.96! We also sent a check to Annual Conference for
the Change for Children campaign totaling $171.51.
In addition to these projects, a love offering was taken at the last
Wednesday Fellowship Supper to benefit Wesley House Community Center in
Knoxville - the offering totaled $350.00! We just can’t thank you enough
for your prayers and financial support of the mission projects at home
and abroad. Thanks again!
On Sunday, July 1, we will take a special offering to send with Ralph
and Gerri Bradley when they once again travel to Estonia. The money will
be used to continue with their work in Estonia.
Welcome
To Galilee By-the-Sea In two short weeks,
our church will be filled with children and families seeking fun and
adventure at our Galilee By-the-Sea VBS! They’ll be worshiping God
through songs and prayer, making projects, and discovering life-changing
Bible truths in fun and memorable ways.
Thank you very much for the items donated and created so far! As we
finalize plans and supplies, please check our donation board and help us
fill those needs. To make our village authentic, you can help us create
an open air farmer’s market to view and sample food that people would
have enjoyed in Galilee. We could use a variety of fruits as well as
dates, figs, grapes, olives, pomegranates, raisins, apricots and almonds
near the date June 24, please mark items “VBS.”

From UMW
Thank you for attending the May 30th UMW Fifth Wednesday Night Meal.
Sharon Earle from the Wesley House Center in Knoxville spoke
passionately about the services provided by the Wesley House to the
children in the inner-city neighborhoods of Knoxville. This vital, much
needed program receives support from the General Board of Global
Missions of the United Methodist Church, but as with all missions-based
programs there is never enough to meet all the needs. A generous Love
Offering was collected at the end of the program and given to Ms. Earle
for Wesley House.
If you missed this meal and program, stay tuned...there will be other
opportunities for us to learn and help, not only Wesley House but other
missions as well.
Again, thank you for your generous support of the United Methodist Women
and our projects that help to serve others.
The UMW looks forward to seeing everyone at the August UMW Fifth
Wednesday Night Meal... more info to follow.
Thank you,
Jill Fox

Wesley House Has A Need
Sharon Earle, from the Wesley House Center in Knoxville,
called this past week with a request for assistance. The staff had just
spent a couple of hours using small hand held pencil sharpeners to
prepare pencils for the summer program. Easy enough task you might
think, but not when you have a hundred or so to do. The request was a
simple one....5 electric pencil sharpeners. Just imagine how quickly
those pencils would have been sharpened! If you, your class or group
would like to help purchase the pencil sharpeners for Wesley House call
Jill Fox at
254-1673 or email mafoxy@charter.net. Thank you for your support of this
vital mission.
Odyssey News For June and July
We will not have an Odyssey Trip in June due to the bus
being on the Broadway Express trip to Lancaster, PA. However, in July we
will be combining efforts with the Life Beginners Group from New
Providence Presbyterian Church. We will be taking a trip on the Star of
Knoxville Riverboat on Friday, July 20. (Note the change in date.) We
will leave from Broadway’s parking lot at 10:45 a.m. The trip begins at
noon; we will have lunch, then return to the dock at 1:30. Cost for the
day is $26.00. This includes everything. Reservations with full payment
are due by Friday, June 29. This is a non-refundable trip. To make your
reservation please contact the church office, 982-6192.
Relay For Life
Our youth and a few wide eyed adults spent the night on
the track in support of friends and family with cancer. The youth raised
$2,000.00 for the American Cancer Society. Thanks to everyone that
helped with this event and especially to the youth who have a heart for
serving and love for others.
A Word From The Technology Team
If you have a CD, DVD, or pictures that need to be shown
during the RS Service, please contact the team member responsible for
the slides on that Sunday in advance. You can call Judy or Dan - they
have alist of the team members and the Sundays they are working. Due to
recent changes in the balcony computer, we can no longer take last
minute requests to play a CD or DVD or to add pictures to our
presentation. We have certain last minute details that must be dealt
with on Sunday morning and it causes delays and interruptions in the
flow of the service if we are asked to add something to our presentation
at the last minute. If you have a CD or DVD that needs to be shown,
please contact the team member and make arrangements to get the CD, DVD,
or pictures to them as soon as possible. If this is not possible, please
plan to be at the church at 8:00 a.m. on that Sunday to meet with the
team member. We do not want to turn anyone away who has an important
message, but we must ask that you cooperate with us to help make the
service meaningful. Technical glitches and delays distract from the
service and causes unnecessary stress for the team members.
If you need something shown during the 10:30 service, please contact
Gene Pafford at gpafford@utk.edu or by calling him at home at 977-7609.
Also, please let Dan know so he can plan accordingly and make sure the
screen is left up after the RS Service.
Thank your for your cooperation.

You Never Know What Will
Happen
His name is Bill. He has
wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This
was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is
brilliant. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He became a Christian
while attending college. Across the street from the campus is a
well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry
to the students but are not sure how to go about it.
One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his
T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill
starts down the aisle looking for a seat. The church is completely
packed and he can’t find a seat. By now, people are really looking a bit
uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill gets closer and closer to
the pulpit, and when re realizes there are no seats, he just squats down
right on the carpet.
By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is
thick. About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back
of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill. Now the
deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit.
A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a
cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to
themselves that you can’t blame him for what he’s going to do. How can
you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some
college kid on the floor?
It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. The church is utterly
silent except for the clicking of the man’s cane. All eyes are focused
on him. You can’t even hear anyone breathing. The minister can’t even
preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do. Any now they
see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty,
he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he
won’t be alone.
Everyone chokes up with emotion. When the minister gains control, he
says, “What I’m about to preach, you will never remember. What you have
just seen, you will never forget.”
“Be careful how you live, YOU may be the only Bible some people will
ever read!
