TRANSCRIPT

Anticipation. Hope. A

promise fulfilled. All are a part of

the Season of Advent. At

Broadway, our celebration of

Advent has been simply beautiful,

and we have many days left to

enjoy and prepare for the coming

of the Christ Child.

As always, there will be special worship, music,

food and service during Advent. On Sunday, December

11, we can all look forward to Goodie Sunday, a long-

standing tradition at Broadway. Bring your favorite

Christmas “goodie,” whether that treat is an old family

recipe or your favorite store-bought treat, and share it

with the Broadway family. Connections Ministry will

provide hot apple cider and get all of us in the spirit with

special decorations in Fellowship Hall.

Also on December 11, Broadway’s children will

share their gifts and talents with all of us in their

Christmas program at the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. services.

During the 10:10 a.m. Christian Education hour, there

will be an Advent craft celebration in the Christian Life

Center for all. The SERV Sale, the Tree of Hope and

Youth Christmas Wreath sales will also continue on

December 11 (see related articles).

Our vocal and instrumental musicians will share

their gifts on Sunday, December 18. The 9:00 a.m.

service will feature the Chancel Choir and Bells, while

the Broadway Ensemble will provide the music for the

11:15 a.m. service.

Christmas Eve, December

24, will offer four distinct

worship services. At 11:00

a.m., our Service of Carols

and Scripture will be followed

by a soup and sandwich

luncheon in Fellowship Hall.

This service is perfect for

those who are traveling, or

would prefer not to drive after nightfall. At 5:30 p.m., the

Ensemble will provide the music for our Contemporary

Christmas Eve. At 8:00 p.m., the Chancel Choir is

featured in our Traditional Christmas Eve service. Our

Midnight Christmas Eve worship at 11:00 p.m. will tell the

story of Christmas with bluegrass and acoustic

instruments. Communion, candlelight and Silent Night

will be a part of each of our Christmas Eve services.

Christmas Day arrives on Sunday, December 25.

We will celebrate the day with one service at 10:30 a.m.

There will also be a New Year’s Day worship service at

10:30 a.m. There will be no Christian Education classes

on December 25 and New Year’s Day.

A Simply Beautiful Advent Season

At Broadway our Christmas Eve

services – all four of them now – are

beloved standard fare. If you want an

early service because you don’t drive at

night or are heading out of town, join us

at 11am followed by a soup lunch. Our

contemporary service with a children’s

moment is at 5:30 p.m. The Traditional

worship with all the smells and bells is

at 8:00 p.m. And then – for the night

owls – our Bluegrass Christmas is at

11:00 p.m. All of these worship services will include

Candle lighting and Communion, so you won’t miss out

no matter when you attend.

What we do NOT have every year is Christmas Day

falling on Sunday. But this year is the year. On

Christmas Day we will have one service at 10:30 and

no Christian Education. In fact,

that will be the same pattern we

follow on New Year’s Day, as it

also falls on Sunday.

I want to invite families with

children to come to Christmas Day

worship in jammies – that’s right,

after your present opening is over

and the living room is awash with

wrapping paper, just bundle them

up as they are, jammies and all,

and come to the church and sing carols and hear the

Christmas story with the church family.

To us a Savior is born!

ON BROADWAY…. with Pastor Tim Carson

Thanks to the generosity of our members, the Get

On the Bus campaign has reached its goal of

$60,000, and now the search is on for two well-

maintained pre-owned mini-buses, But one piece of

Broadway’s Transportation Ministry won’t be found at

the auto auctions—volunteers to drive our buses!

The 14-passenger buses that we will be

purchasing do not require a special license.

However, bus drivers must be at least 25 years old. If

you are interested in driving one of Broadway’s

buses, please contact Ingrid Luckenbill in the church

office at [email protected] or

445.5312. Ingrid will contact you when the buses are

purchased and volunteer orientation/training is

scheduled.

Any future donations to the Get On the Bus

campaign will be used for bus maintenance. As

discussed during the campaign, any funds raised that

are in excess of the actual purchase price of the

buses will be used for maintenance and storage for

the vehicles.

The Buses Are Ready to Roll—Drivers Needed!

Giving is central to our

Christmas tradition. Broadway’s

Advent theme, Simply Beautiful,

stresses that giving is more than

the exchange of “stuff.” Serving

others is a powerful witness to the

spirit of Advent and the ministry of

Jesus. How can you serve others

this Advent season? Let us count

the ways!

Broadway’s Service Ministry is especially busy

during the Advent season. The Tree of Hope has been

full of cards containing the names of children who are

in need this Christmas. If you chose a card from the

Tree, please return it to church this Sunday, December

11. All gifts will be distributed to the local agencies and

schools during the following week.

How can buying a gift for someone also serve?

Gifts that purchased from our SERV Sale tables on

December 11 are unique, beautiful—and created by

fair trade artisans! Your purchases allow these

artisans to receive a fair price for their work, which

translate into a higher standard of living and the

creates opportunity for others. The SERV tables will

be full of gifts for one more Sunday on December 11.

Visit the Fellowship Hall and find that perfect gift for

someone and feel good about your purchase, too!

Serve and giving at Christmas time can often be

one and the same. On December 18, the Christmas

Special Offering will be collected at all worship

services. This Special Offering supports the work of

the Regional Ministries of the Christian Church

(Disciples of Christ), including our own Christian

Church of Mid-America Regional Ministry.

At each of Broadway’s Christmas Eve worship

services, the offering trays will be passed from pew to

pew. But on Christmas Eve, all of our worship

offerings will be designated for two outreach ministries

supported by Broadway. Our long-time international

mission partner, Enlace El Salvador, and Room at the

Inn, our continuing mission to provide a safe and warm

place to sleep for Columbia’s homeless during the

winter, will receive our Christmas Eve gifts.

May the spirit of giving and service follow us into

the new year!

Worship With Us This Christmas Eve

Candlelight & Communion at all services.

Room at the Inn, Columbia’s

emergency winter shelter, opened

last Sunday, December 4, at the

Unitarian Universalist Church. And

it was just in time. The weather this

week has turned much colder, with

snow and temperatures in the

‘teens later this week.

Broadway will take our turn to

host Room at the Inn beginning

Monday, January 2. The shelter

will call Broadway home through the morning of Sunday,

January 29. While here, the shelter will provide cots,

warmth, food and safety for 50 guests.

Why is Room at the Inn necessary? There are other

shelters in Columbia, but beds are often hard to come by

and for many, the paperwork required for an overnight

stay is a roadblock. Room at the Inn provides cots for

those who cannot meet the requirements for entry at other

shelters. The reason is simple—no one deserves to

freeze to death.

Volunteers will be needed throughout the shelter

season, which began December 4 and continues through

the morning of March 1.

Volunteers can help in variety of

ways, from assisting with set-up

before the guests arrive, to the

evening shifts which will give

you the opportunity to interact

with the guests, to morning

restoration—cleaning and

preparing the church host site

for the coming day’s activities.

The volunteer sign-up can be

accessed through the Room at the Inn website,

www.roomattheinncomo.org.

Broadway will contribute one-half of our Christmas Eve

offering to Room at the Inn this year. If you would also like

to make an in-kind donation, needed items are listed on

the website. You can drop off in-kind donations at any

host site.

Thank you again, Broadway—for opening our doors to

those in the greatest need. We all deserve a warm and

safe place to sleep on a cold Missouri winter’s night. If

you have questions about Room at the Inn, please contact

Debby at [email protected].

Room at the Inn Is Open for the Winter Season

Emergency Winter Shelter Will Open at Broadway on January 2

You have heard the testimonials during our

worship services this fall and winter. You’ve seen a

lot of pictures. Is the Spirit moving you to action?

Broadway’s 2017 El Salvador Mission Trip is

scheduled for the week of spring break, March 25-31,

2017. The exact destination and work assignment for

the trip will be determined by Enlace, our mission

partner, as we near our departure date.

The cost of the trip can range anywhere from

$1200-$1500; however, Service/Mission and Outreach

Ministry has been able to pay for the on-the-ground

costs for our mission groups for the last two years.

The deadline to join the 2017 mission team is

January 15. If you are interested in the trip. Contact

Debby in the church office or Don Day,

[email protected], to discuss the trip in more

detail.

Is the El Salvador Mission Trip Calling to You?

PAGE 5 BROADWAY MINISTRIES

C A L E N D A R Loving is the true

story of a rural Virginia

couple, who met, fell

in love and married in

the early 1960s. Why

is this couple’s story

worthy of a major

studio film? Because

Mildred and Alfred

Loving (yes, their real

name) were

different—Mildred was

black and Alfred was

white. And in 1960s Virginia, it was illegal for them to marry.

The Loving vs. The Commonwealth of Virginia Supreme Court

decision was a landmark for civil rights in the United States. But

the film is less about the court battles, and more about the people.

Even as they were embroiled in court battles, all the Lovings

wanted was the right to marry, raise their children and grow old

together.

Thanks to a grant from the Pro-Reconciliation/Anti-Racism

(PRAR) Ministry of the Christian Church of Mid-America,

Broadway has received 60 free tickets to the Sunday, December

11, screening at Rag Tag. The tickets are available on a first-

come, first-serve basis, and are available for members of all

Disciples churches in our area. Tickets may be reserved (limit of

two) through the Broadway church office, and must be picked up

at Rag Tag by 12:30 p.m. on December 11. Call Ingrid at

445.5312 if you would like tickets.

Following the movie, all in attendance will be welcome to join a

group discussion, hosted at First Presbyterian Church and

moderated by Rev. Martha Jolly.

Broadway Welcomes New Staff Members

Broadway’s

Children’s Ministry

Administrative

Assistant, Emily

Neidenberg, had a

tough choice to

make this fall—study

in France for the

winter, 2017, semester or stay in Columbia.

Hmmm....what to do?

Needless to say, Emily will be leaving Columbia and

her position at Broadway for a semester of study in

Lyon, France. After Emily announced her decision, she

was also nice enough to post the open position at her

sorority house. Jordan Meier, a sorority sister and, by

coincidence, a life-long Disciple of Christ, snapped up

the posting and applied.

Jordan has already begun training with Emily and

Children’s Ministry Coordinator Aimee McBride. Emily’s

final day at Broadway will be this Sunday, December 11.

We will miss her, but

are happy to

welcome Jordan to

the Broadway staff

and family!

It has long been

a goal to provide

administrative support and back-up for the Church

Administrator position. Leslie Robb LeSieur, long-time

office administrator for the Northeast Area and currently

serving as the part-time Executive Director for the Mid-

America Center for Ministry will begin training this month

to provide support for Ingrid. Leslie will work a limited

number of hours per week, but when Ingrid is on

vacation, Leslie will be trained to handle Broadway’s

accounts payable and building use.

Au revoir and traveling mercies to Emily and

welcome to Jordan and Leslie!

Jordan Meier Leslie Robb LeSieur

During the 10:10 a.m.

Christian Education hour this

Sunday, December 11, take a

walk to the Christian Life Center

for a fun and casual Advent craft

party! There will be a variety of

crafts for children from age two

and up, and games to play with

friends!

The Advent craft party is definitely a family-friendly

event, but adults are also welcome to come and enjoy

the fun and festivities. If you would like to help with the

party, contact Aimee at 445.5312, or by email at

[email protected].

Children’s Ministry Advent

Craft Party This Sunday

The Disciples on Campus (DOC) college student

ministry is planning a January 3-7 mission trip to serve in

Tulsa, Oklahoma. DOC ministry leadership is shared by

the youth ministers of Broadway, First Christian and

Olivet Christian Churches.

DOC plans a winter break mission trip each year.

This year’s trip to Tulsa will serve those in need through

existing outreach organizations, adding extra hands and

energy to meet the needs of those in need. Thirteen

college students will be making the trip to Tulsa—

traveling mercies for their upcoming journey and

blessings for their work!

Parents—mark your calendars! On

Wednesday, December 21, from 10:00

a.m.-2:00 p.m., Broadway’s Youth will

offer all of you a chance to get those last

-minute Christmas chores completed—

with no kids to assist!

Parents’ Day Out will give hurried

and harried parents four lovely hours to

wrap up Christmas, have a relaxing

lunch with friends, or just to go home

and take a nap! Youth will be on hand,

with adult helpers as well, to provide supervision and

fun for the kids. Please bring a brown bag lunch for

each child. You can leave your child in

the care of our Youth for the entire four

hours, or just take advantage of the time

to run an hour’s worth of errands.

All donations from Parents Day Out

will be used to defray expenses for the

2017 mission trip. A suggested

donation of $10 per hour is requested

for each family. If you would like more

information, contact Kahlea Wilson at

[email protected].

Youth Will Offer Parents Day Out in December

Thank you to everyone who

chose a child from the Tree of

Hope this year! Please

remember to return your gifts with

the card attached this Sunday,

December 11. If you will be

unable to return your gift on

Sunday, please contact Debby at

445.5312 or

[email protected], so that we will know that

the gift is on its way!

The children who will receive the gifts are from Coyote

Hill, Rainbow House, Russell Elementary School and Blue

Ridge Elementary School. Your generosity will help of

them have a merrier Christmas!

Return Your Tree of Hope

Gifts to Church on Sunday!

If you are planning

to make a gift to

Broadway and would

like to receive tax

credit for the gift in this

tax year, your gift must

be received in the

church office or

postmarked by

December 31, 2016.

Ingrid Luckenbill will be in the church office

December 27-29 until noon, and will check mail on

Friday, December 30. The office will be closed on

December 26 and 30, and on January 2. If you need to

reach Ingrid regarding a gift for the 2016 tax year,

please leave a message on the church phone at

445.4312 or contact her at

Is Church Family Helping Church Family

The death of a church member

or family member is such a time

of grieving and loss. And as

plans are made for funeral

services or celebrations of life,

some of life's practical issues

emerge: What to do about food

or refreshments for guests? How

can we make family and guests

feel welcome in God's house?

This is when the Bereavement

Ministry steps in with the answers to

these important issues. Dixie Fisher and a large

group of volunteers, anywhere from 30 to 40 people,

are available to attend to details and help make

plans. They can also meet with family members to

make sure their needs and special requests are met.

Sometimes it is a reception of cookies and punch

and oftentimes it is a full meal of main dish,

vegetables, salad , bread and dessert. Dixie and her

team are flexible in what kind of food is needed. As

we all know, it is soothing and strengthening to sit

around a table together and share a meal. It allows us

the time to demonstrate our love and support for one

another.

This ministry has long been a part of Broadway

Christian Church's caring and love for their members

and their families and for guests of our church. We

are known for our delicious meals and soothing

service and care. As CareLink has formed, the

Bereavement ministry joins as

"church family cares for church

family." And Dixie has been a

leader in this effort for a long

time. She goes down her long

list of volunteers and pulls a

team together to respond with

short notice.

Dixie always needs more

volunteers so we welcome you

to join the CareLink team and

help with bereavement meals and

services. As a volunteer you can choose the times

that you are most available so this gives you plenty of

flexibility.

This is your opportunity to show our Christian love

and caring for those who are suffering. Please

contact Dixie at 474-3417 or call the church office and

add your name to the list.

Letourneau to help me out. He did needed tasks to

finish weatherizing my home, he installed a handheld

shower head in my shower. Needless to say, this

ministry came along at the perfect time for me.

Blessing to all the CareLink team. —-Mary Secora
