Church guide

This Sunday, we take the "show" on the road to worship off site and to celebrate Pentecost with a great brunch, fun games, and good fellowship!

Reminder that we welcome Jeff and Anne Barnhart (Ivory and Gold) in worship tomorrow at 10:30am playing along with our own One Track Train. See you then!

Last Sunday, Memorial Day, we considered Isaiah 2:1-5 and Joel 3:9-12 – “swords into plowshares, spears into pruning hooks” vs. “plowshares into swords, pruning hooks into spears.” At the End of Time, God’s people will go to the Mountain of God where there will be no more war. Implements of war become implements of farming (peace). To the contrary, the Nations of the world that oppose God, that take their instruments of peace (farming) and make them instruments of war against God, will face the Judgment of the Lord. Right now, before the End, God’s people are to “go to the Mountain” for wisdom, discernment, and Spiritual guidance in order to proclaim the Good News of Christ. Our call is to help make this world look more like the Realm of God to come and to countervail the current wars against God (both actual and analogous). This beautiful song by Robert Paul Schmidt was shared in support of the message...

Remembering today. God bless those who gave all and the families who mourn.

It bubbles up in all kinds of ways. Jesus knows there is a better Way...

Double play, double digits, double mint gum, double take, double back, double over, double down... Sunday worship at 10:30am promises double the value for your spiritual growth. So, no double talk, just get here on the double. It won't be the same without you the same without you.

Yeah, it's kind of like this... Come join us this Sunday as we continue our hunt for "Easter eggs" (easily overlooked treats) in the Bible. This service promises to leave you more encouraged and strengthened by Christ, ready to take on a new week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nergoHbfJd4

"Everybody dies, but not everyone has truly lived." - C.S. Lewis (1 Timothy 6:19: "Take hold of life that truly is life.")

TOMB IT MAY CONCERN: Resurrection (Easter) worship service is 10:30 a.m. this Sunday! Join us for a celebration of new life filled with Spirit and joy. Bring some friends, relatives, and neighbors, and come on out. It won't be the same without out you!

Maundy Thursday Last Supper service this Thursday starting with a light meal at 6:00pm and worship at 7:00. Holy Week must not be just another week.

Come on down this Friday, 10am-noon, for a children's Easter celebration full of activities, food, games, and crafts. All are welcome. School is out that day so plan to be a part of this special annual event.

Proverbs 3:5 is right! "Trust in the Lord and don't lean on your own understanding." Did no one think this thing through? Good grief. (And we won't even discuss the possessives.)

Forget tax day (ugh!). Today we remember the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s death, and Jackie Robinson (with Branch Rickey) breaking baseball’s color barrier. All three were men of faith who changed the world for the better.

Re. our current worship series on the Book of Lamentations and the destruction of the First Temple by Babylon in 586 BC... - A 2,600 year-old document seal from the Kingdom of Judah bearing the inscription “(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King” (the name mentioned in 2 Kings 23:11) was recently discovered in the City of David. - The digs were carried out in the ruins of an ancient building that was burned and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC during razing of the First Temple. The clay seal impression discovered dates to a period just before the destruction.

"Science does not kill God...When you hear very famous scientists making pronouncements like...cosmology has explained the origin of the universe and the whole, and we don't need God anymore. That's complete nonsense." -Marcelo Gleiser, Dartmouth physicist and astronomer- Press Release today: The prestigious annual Templeton Prize, which recognizes outstanding contributions to "affirming life's spiritual dimension," was awarded Tuesday to Dartmouth College's Marcelo Gleiser -- a physicist and astronomer dedicated to demonstrating that science and religion are not enemies. The prize and Foundation was founded by John Templeton, Wall Street financier and Presbyterian.

Thank you Bob and Barbara for this wonderful new addition to our community. These dogs will be a blessing to so many people! Maybe we should include this facility, its staff, and all the great dogs in our October Blessing of the Animals service?

Unless otherwise notified, Monday Bible Study WILL meet March 4 at noon. See you then.

Dear Members and Friends, Due to winter weather conditions and Missouri Department of Transportation's "no travel advisory" for Sunday morning, Broadway Church will NOT hold Sunday morning worship or education classes tomorrow. Announcements regarding Monday Bible Study and preschool will be made independently later. Please be safe.

Faith...but faith suppported by logic and reason. Here's a short video presenting how science argues for God's existence.

Um... a promo from our video department -- On October 28, join us at 11 a.m. at the Sneeds' farm for worship and a (f)all-church picnic. This is also a great event for inviting new people who might be interested in our church community. Share this video with your personal invitation. It will be a Sunday you won't want to miss!

OK... so when Jeff and Anne Barnhart joined us in worship for some special music during Joplin Fest weekend, we remembered the Bible's greatest musician and composer, King David. His love of God and of music motivated him to sing and dance. We were inspired and so we danced "undignified" (2 Samuel 6). At one point, Jeff said, "Hey everybody, get up and burn some calories; dance for God." Great advice! (Who says Presbyterians are the frozen chosen?!)

This Thanksgiving...Get Full -- As you gather around the table today, may the words of Colossians 3:15 be a part of your pre-meal prayer: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." After all, "thankful" means to be FULL of THANKS.
