Rex Barker tells a story about a
small boy who was auditioning with his classmates for a school play. His mother
knew that he'd set his heart on being in the play just like all the other
children hoped too and she feared how he would react if he was not chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, the little boy's mother went to the school gates to collect her son. The little lad rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mom," he shouted, and then said the words that provide a lesson to us all, "I've been chosen to clap and cheer."
There is a unique lesson to be
learned from this story and we believe that the youth here at Broadway... "get
it!" They have an upbeat attitude and take pride in whatever they do. We
teach them to understand that each one of us has a unique mission in this
world
that no-one else can do. And that means that each one of us is uniquely
important.
The Youth program at Broadway is full of life and learning to be the kind of young people that God wants us to be.
You will find youth that are willing to get dirty and do some work to help someone get a glimpse of Christ. We may be building a wheel chair ramp with project Crossroads in Virginia or helping with worship services here in the church. We usually find out that as we set out to show others the Way, we are the ones richly blessed with encounters with Christ.
Feel free to join us as together we Learn, Serve and Share the Life, the Truth and The Way!!!
