“Are
You A Blessing?"
Jesus knew the central problem in the lives of the
disciples was not lack of faith, but lack of action. Do you have faith
in Christ Jesus? Do you find it difficult to act? Jesus wants us to make
a difference where we can. He wants us to be a blessing. Too many today
want to be blessed, but they are reluctant to step forward and provide a
blessing for others. Jesus has empowered us to be a blessing.
Sunday we will look at becoming a blessing in God’s kingdom. There are
those out in the world who need love, mercy, and grace to be extended to
them. When we practice God’s love, then others will learn by example.
Give of your best to the service of Jesus. Be a blessing!
In Christ,

Project Crossroad Mission Trip
When: Wednesday, June 13-Saturday, June 16
Where: Marion, VA
Cost: Free. Most food will be provided
It will be hot, we will be tired and dirty, but we will be helping someone that
needs us. Project Crossroad is a mission organization directed by Holston
minister, Harry Howe. Broadway has been supporting this mission for 15 years.
Located in Marion, Virginia, Crossroads shares the love of God, house by house.
We have built porches and ramps, added bathrooms, painted and done demolition,
and it is clearly remembered something about a flooded basement!! It is a hard
three days, but very rewarding and fulfilling.
In the past I have noticed it is not only the homes that are improved by our
work, the youth and leaders have always come away changed as well. There is
something good about doing for others!
Registrations are due on Sunday, June 3. There will also be a pre-trip meeting
that night.

We Need Your Help For VBS!
If it’s been a while since you’ve been to
Vacation Bible School, now’s your chance to join this new ministry. This year’s
VBS program requires participation from all generations. Help us recreate a
bustling marketplace with your presence. Come assist for 1 night, 2 nights or
all week. Visit, catch up and join your friends as you help set the environment
of a seaside village. We’ll need extra hands with crafts, bread baking, and lots
of smiles. You will help spread the good news of Jesus and His latest sightings.
Come help us bring the Bible to life and learn something new!
Please let Jennie Ottinger, Rebecca Brown, or Charlie Wimmer know how you can
serve your church and community by leading a portion of the program or
supporting the teams in place. Remember a 5 night commitment is not required,
but spend at least 1 night with us and watch God work in powerful ways. Thank
you in advance for making this vision a reality.
Thanks,
Jennie Ottinger

Children’s Choir Camp Goes “Staving”
What is a stave church? Come to Children’s Choir Camp, June
20-22, and learn about the Scandinavian stave church, how it is built, what kind
of worship is used, and what songs are sung. Registrations may be made through
the church office, Charlie Wimmer, or Bob Ergenbright. For more information, see
the children’s summer activities brochure available at various places in the
church, or go online to our website and select children’s ministries for
information and registration forms.
Music for Sunday Worship
This Sunday the Chancel Choir will sing “Who
Is He?”, a Don Besig arrangement of the Communion Liturgy. Mr. Besig and his
wife, who helped with the text, have taken the Maundy Thursday account and
expanded it to include the modern setting of the Wesley Holy Communion Service.
The anthem concludes with the affirmation, “We will walk in faith and follow
Him.”
