What a journey! Weeks ago we started the Season of Lent and we joined others in Holston Conference in committing to 40 Days of Prayer. Throughout these days we prayed for ourselves in our own relationship and walk with Christ, but we also prayed specifically for those people who weren’t connected to God. Lent led us into a powerful celebration of Easter! Throughout this Season of Easter, we have moved into what Harry Denman, well known United Methodist evangelist of past years, called “The 50 Golden Days of Evangelism.” In these past 50 days we have been challenged and stretched to become “Contagious” in our Faith. We have had 11 small groups meeting with about 60 people considering weekly questions about our weekly worship topic. In addition, we have had about 160 daily email devotions going out with scriptures, prayers, practical evangelism tips and thought-provoking readings. A great deal of appreciation needs to be shared liberally around with the hard-working, passionate Evangelism team, the small group hosts and participants, the communications folks and all of you who are continuing to come, listen, open yourself and explore what it might mean in your life to have “Contagious Faith!” Special thanks to Stan Turner for countless hours gathering, formatting, editing and emailing all of our past 90 days worth of devotions!
Sometimes we spend so much time at church doing the work of the church that we forget to take time to slow down and celebrate. That’s what this coming weekend is for. This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. We will join with churches around the world in celebrating the birthday of the Church and the gift of the Holy Spirit. We will join with churches across Holston in celebrating baptisms. We were challenged in February to do all of the ground work so that when the day of Pentecost came, we wouldn’t just be looking back to remember what had happened, but rather, we have been praying and preparing to have another day of Pentecost when the Spirit of God moves in mighty ways. This Sunday, May 23rd at 10 a.m. join me for a day of CELEBRATION! This will not be business as usual. Baptisms, new faith and membership commitments, the entire congregation joined as one – with all of our special invited guests! This Sunday, come to be filled to overflowing with joy and assurance of God’s work in the world...and in our church. We’ll get back to all of the business and busy-ness of our next week...but on the day of Pentecost, we will all assemble together in one place!
Read Acts 2 and Get Ready! See you Sunday at 10!
Shalom,
Please Help!!
This is a reminder that Broadway has 30 food buckets to fill for the
2010 Holston Annual Conference Hands-On Mission Project to Liberia and
Zimbabwe. The progress so far is very exciting! To make it easy for you,
there are boxes at each entrance to the church that are labeled for Food
Bucket Donations. Just drop your food items in the boxes, and the
Mission team will pack the buckets later. You have all the month of May
to help with this project.
The FRINS group will have their year end picnic at Louisville Point Park on Wednesday, May 26. We will meet at the church at 11:00 a.m. and take the church bus to the park. Lunch will be at about noon. Drinks, plates etc will be furnished. Please bring a covered-dish or two to share.
As you go on vacation, remember the church bills keep coming in. Help us to stay current.

And It Came to Pass...
The second chapter of Luke, in the King James Version, begins “And it
came to pass...” My children have long known that this is my favorite
passage, and it appears numerous times in the Bible. It tells me that
nothing stays the same forever except God; our lives our constantly
changing.

To celebrate the birthday of the Church, we are having a church picnic at Louisville Point Park after the combined church service on Sunday, May 23. We will gather around the park pavilion at 11:45 a.m. Each family is asked to bring their own place settings, napkins, cups and a dish to share. The committee will provide drinks and ice. You may also want to bring chairs and/or a blanket though some picnic tables will be available. Please join us to celebrate this important day in church history and to enjoy fun and fellowship with the Broadway family. Dress is informal for worship so you are comfortable for the picnic. We will take the bus following the Asbury run if there is enough interest.
Directions to Louisville Point Park: Take the 129 bypass to Walmart and turn onto the Louisville Road beside Walmart. Drive about 5 miles until you see St. Mark’s UMC on the left. Turn right on the next road after St. Mark’s. You will see a sign that says “Louisville Point” just before the road. Follow the road into the park; the pavilion is on the right.
Our Odyssey group will travel to Townsend on Thursday, May 27. We will leave the church at 11:30 to have lunch at Miss Lily’s Cafée. We will order from the menu and each pay for our own meal. Following lunch we will go to the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center. The price will be $3.00 or $4.00 each. (Depending if we have enough for the group rate.) If you have a membership use it. There have been several new displays added at the center. You will want to see the church which was added this spring. Upon our return we will collect money for gas. We should be back to the church by 4:00 p.m. Please make reservations in the church office by Monday, May 24.
In an effort to make the church more accessible during our Sunday morning worship services, the Administrative Board would like to designate the parking spaces next to the kitchen door as reserved for persons with acute mobility issues. Instead of placing signs or marking the pavement, we will use the honor system. If you or a family member uses a wheelchair or walker, please feel free to park in the area near the kitchen door on Sunday mornings. Thank you.

Deadline For Next Messenger
On behalf of the Broadway United Methodist Men, thank you for
your tremendous support of the Spring 2010 Golf Tournament. With your help we
raised over $1,500. These funds are used to underwrite the Leon and Kerry
Trundle Scholarship Fund which supports our high school seniors going off to
college next year. The funds also support other Broadway United Methodist Men’s
projects throughout the year like the continuing Tipton Lodge Porch Project at
Camp Wesley Woods. We simply could not have done it without the help of our
Sponsors and Contributors who included:
Second Place went to the Team of Bo Henry, Robert Russell, & Larry Martin.
Closest to the pin was won by John Jelinski.
Again, thank you so much for your support. We’ll see you’ll at the Fall 2010 Tournament.
Where The Buffalo Roam! For anyone who would like to visit a Wyoming dude ranch through pictures, check out Ron Pyron’s site: ronpyron.smugmug.com then look for the Lost Creek Ranch 2010 album.
