TRANSCRIPT
Next month,
Broadway will celebrate
60 years of ministry to
the members of our
congregation, to the
Columbia community
and to the world. Such a
big milestone deserves a
big party—and the
Anniversary Committee
has designated October
as our Heritage Month.
Heritage Month will
begin Homecoming
Sunday on October 7.
There will be one
worship service at 10:30
a.m. in the Christian Life Center. Our special guests will
be Bill a Ryan, Broadway’s founding pastor and his wife,
Narka. The Ryans served Broadway for its first ten
years, and we are blessed to have them join us for this
special day! Following the service, we will celebrate, in
the Disciples tradition, with a potluck lunch. Dixie Fisher
is asking for volunteers to prepare recipes from our 50th
Anniversary Cookbook. You will find sign-ups in the
Narthex, or simply call Dixie at 474.3417.
Following Homecoming Sunday’s worship, we will
celebrate each Sunday in October with past and present
Broadway ministers. On Sunday, October 14, Rev. Don
Lanier will lead us in our three worship services. Don
and his wife, Alice Jane, served Broadway in the 1970s
to the early 1980s. On Sunday, October 21, Pastors
Nick Larson and Jacob Thorne will lead us in worship.
Jacob was Broadway’s
Associate Minister in the
early 2000s. We will close
the month on Sunday,
October 28, with worship
led by Rick Frost and Kim
Ryan. Rick has been
Broadway’s longest serving
Senior Minister, spending
22 years as Broadway’s
Senior Minister. Kim
served alongside Rick as
an Associate Minister for
20 years!
The Anniversary
Committee will also be
updating our Broadway
history with events from the last deaden of ministry.
Look for special posters and a historical timeline
highlighting important events from 2007 till now!
We will be signing our favorite hymns, wearing our
new Broadway shirts (see page three) and enjoying our
Heritage Month as we take a fond look back and a
faithful leap forward together!

Getting Ready to Celebrate A Really BIG Birthday!

Today, you will find Glenn riding the Broadway Bus to attend
worship almost every week!
,Dear Broadwayites,
September marks a time when Broadway gets into more
of a routine. Summer travels have brought back waters from
distant places to co-mingle this Sunday. Sunday School
classes are meeting regularly again, and friends we meet in
the hall have been missed for a while. It is a time of
regrouping and growth.
Did you notice that last year Broadway served God by
providing $156,306.71 to support mission work? Our
Missions and Outreach Ministry’s budget was $87,473 of the
total, which represents a tithe of our total income. You
responded on top of this to hurricane relief, homeless,
hunger, support groups, refugees, and others through
separate donations out of your compassion. Thank you!
October will be Heritage Month, a time to enjoy glimpses
of Broadway Christian Church past and dream of the future.
October 7 will treat us several ways: Bill Ryan (pastor in
1958) will give the sermon in a combined worship paralleling
the first service of the 100 persons who started Broadway.
Then a carry-in dinner, using many of the recipes found in
the cookbook from our 50th anniversary, promises to be a
real Taste of Broadway. You hopefully voted for your top
ten hymns from the list that was circulated, and we will sing
one verse of those hitting the Top Ten chart. October 14 will
hear the voice of “The Church Today” program, aka Don
Lanier in the pulpit all three services. Rick Frost and Kim
Ryan are joining forces again on October 28, when they will
also officiate in all three worships. We will also celebrate the
Timothys and Priscillas that worshiped with us until they took
on roles in the clergy on their own.
Our Interim Minister Search Committee is in place and
ready to begin the process to call. Some ask why not
search and call our next Senior Minister? Routine is a facet
of worship that we, as individuals, hold dear to each of us in
following and hearing God. We become comfortable with a
certain voice and mannerism in our worship that upon a
change, seems almost heretical. After eight years with one
lead minister’s style, it is important that we take time to be
able to adjust to other styles of delivery. Meanwhile, we will
continue to enjoy Nick and Terry among other voices from
the pulpit.
I continue to give thanks for each of you as we have
gone through the departure of our senior minister these past
weeks. A cohesive spirit of concern, compassion and yet
ambition for our congregation is evident in each person and
group I visited. We experience a loss of Tim and Kathy from
our midst yet have confidence that we will grow and be
stronger. Actions taken by our Executive Committee and
Board were done without malice, and I believe in accord with
our denomination and basic beliefs. That spirit will lead us
to greater things as part of the body of Christ in our world.
Thank you for serving and celebrating God together,
John Poehlmann
Gracious God
Sixty years ago where we are now sitting you saw a
pasture that had the opportunity to become a larger
expression of your love. Through these years you have
guided us and touched so many souls enabling the ability
for our congregation to be a part of your hands in our
community.
Sixty years, or time and half what the Israelites
journeyed in the wilderness. You are our guide through
joys and tears; triumphs and corrections. We have come
before your throne in each other’s prayers for which we
give special thanks.
And now we pray for strength and healing in this time
of transition; for our members who are hurt, for our
friends, for Tim, Kathy, Bertha & Savannah. Lead us into
tomorrow’s promise and help us see how we can best
serve you.
Guide us that our thoughts would reflect your wisdom,
our dreams might reflect your vision for us and our actions
incorporate the peace and power that only you can offer.
We ask this in Jesus name, whom you sent to show us
how to serve and celebrate our God in all times and
places. Amen

Show Your Broadway Spirit With Our New Shirts!
There hasn’t been a
new Broadway logoed shirt
since we celebrated our last
big birthday! But for our
60th celebration, we wanted
to have a shirt design that
would last for a while, especially if we wait another 10
years between shirt orders!
The Anniversary Committee came up with a
design that notes our big 6-0, but can still be worn
throughout the next decade. We will place our shirt
order on September 16, so please check your church
mailboxes for the order form. We ask that your
payment accompany your order.
The shirts will be sized much
as our recent Habitat Sale
shirts. There are four choices
on the form; a short-sleeve t-
shirt, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a
crew neck sweatshirt, and,
NEW—a full front zippered hoodie with the logo on
the back. All shirts and sweatshirts will be navy.
Prices range from $10 for the t-shirt to $20 for the
hooded sweatshirt.
So get into the spirit of our anniversary celebration
and show your Broadway Spirit to the world!
Remember, orders are due by Sunday, September
16.
Don Harter returned from
his summer-long bike ride just
in time to begin recruiting for
the 2018 CROP hunger Walk
on Sunday, September 23!
You will find Don just
outside the Narthex on Sunday
morning. He can give you a lot
of information about the CROP
Walk and the important work
done by Church World Services to mitigate hunger
around the globe. Locally, 25% of all funds raised will
be used to support Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen,
the Russell Chapel Food Pantry, The Latter House
Food Pantry, Fifth Street Christian Church’s Feed the
Community program and the Columbia Center for
Urban Agriculture!
Walkers can also invite their friends to support
them, whether those friends are next door or across
the country! Online registration allows walkers to
include friends around the world in
our Columbia CROP Walk! In fact,
last year’s top fundraiser was our
own Jane McGuire, who raised
almost all of her donation using
the online donor page!
Once again, Mission and
Outreach Ministry will provide hot
dogs, chips and melon for a pre-
Walk lunch at 12:30 p.m. Thank
you to the Shigaki-Hull family for serving as our grill
masters!
The Walk will take place at Stephens Lake Park,
with a long and short course available. Walkers will
use the paved sidewalks for the Walk path, so the
Walk is very stroller and wheelchair friendly.
Stop by and register to walk with Don Harter
through September 23—and we will see you at
Stephens lake!
2018 CROP Hunger Walk Steps Off September 23
The Work of Our
Hands Table is just
that—crafted items ,
baked goods and even
garden bulbs, donated
and crafted by
Broadway members.
The items on the Work
of Our Hands Table
are sold, and all
proceeds are used to
purchase supplies for
Church World Services
Hygiene and School
kits. These kits may be used in Missouri, or may be
shipped to another continent—the kits go wherever they
are needed around the world.
On this year’s Table, you can expect to see items
crafted by Belinda Davis, counted cross stitch items,
crocheted and knitted
scarves and hats and
much more. The prices
are very reasonable, and
many of the items on the
Table would make perfect
gifts for family and friends.
If you would like to
donated some of your own
handiwork to the Table,
donations are always
welcome! The Table will
stay up in Fellowship Hall
every Sunday until mid-
October. Be sure to visit the Fellowship hall beginning
next Sunday. The Table will open before the 9:00 service
and remain open until 11:15 a.m.

The Circle of
Trust group will
continue its

video of the sermon on Broadway’s YouTube channel.
The meetings for the Circle of Trust are not
publicized in order to maintain the group’s privacy. If
you would like to be a part of the group, please contact

On August 8, Mission and
Outreach Ministry volunteers
provided a delicious
breakfast to get our friends at
the Early Learning Center-
North off to a good start to
the school year! It was the
first staff day back for many
of the ELC teachers, and
more than 80 enjoyed breakfast from Broadway.
Food is something we do very well here at Broadway,
but there is more we can do to help the staff and students
at the Early Learning Center. We are continuing to collect
nonperishable food items, paper products and cleaning
supplies for the school’s Parent Pantry.
We will be distributing Scholastic Book order forms for
preschool level readers in September. The orders will be
placed through the Carousel Preschool, so this will be a
win for Carousel (free supplies and books from Scholastic)
and a win for the Early Learning Center
(new books for the school’s Book Box).
Check your Broadway Weekly e-news
for ordering information.
Collecting Box Tops for
Education
A recent addition to our
PIE took lit is the collection of Box Tops
for Education. If you are no longer sending your box tops
to your child’s school, but are still enjoying your Cheerios
every morning—that cereal box will have at least one Box
Top for Education (usually on the top or bottom). Simply
tear it off and bring it to the collection box in Fellowship
Hall. The Box Tops can be redeemed for a variety of
building needs.
Mission and Outreach Ministry is planning more ways
we can assist our Partners in Education, and we will need
your help—stay tuned!
How We Can Help Our Partners in Education
The Bible Study and
Discipleship Sunday
School Class, approved by
Executive Committee, are
sponsoring a voter registration at Broadway on the

Broadway will provide the opportunity for anyone
whom would like to get registered or update their
voter registration to do so.
Sunday School participants will be in the
Fellowship Hall to assist with registrations.
Voter Registration Drive
Begins September 16
Broadway’s 60+ Group will
begin another great year of
programs and fellowship on
Monday, September 24 at noon.
The September program will
feature a guest speaker from the
Columbia/Boone County Health Department speaking
on Emergency Preparedness. Flyers are in your
Broadway mail box and should be returned by
Wednesday, September 18.
60+ Luncheons Return On
September 24
Summers in Columbia often seem to
begin slowly and end quickly! Summer
school, summer travel, summer days to
be lazy—all of us are going in a hundred
different direction. Broadway welcomed
August with a flurry of activity and
fellowship, and looking forward to our
special birthday in the fall!

CareLink volunteers marked their second year with a
barbeque at the Poehlmann's home last week. The skies
cleared and 41 people arrived just in time for hot brats and
burgers. It was a time of celebrating 10 different CareLink
ministries and over 120 volunteers who provide loving
care for our church family.
Can you name all 10? Here's a hint: ♥ Cards ♥ Calls
of Concern ♥ Flowers ♥ Handy Helpers ♥ Bereavement
Meals ♥ Care Center Visits ♥ Prayer Shawls ♥
Casseroles ♥ Spirited Singers ♥ Caregiver Support
Group ♥!
And we're still needing more volunteers. Right now we
have openings in several ministries so please call Patsy
Dalton, 356-6036 or Linda Poehlmann, 234-1950 and sign
up. You will love being part of CareLink !
Celebrating 13 Years Of Loving Service
Ethel Okker has been
visiting church members in
Care Centers all over
Columbia for a long time, 13
years to be exact. For
several years now she has
helped get CareLink
established and headed the
team of Care Center
visitors. Now, she's earned
a rest so let's applaud and thank Ethel for all
her care of our church family.
We Got Mail!
Thanks to all our good friends at
Broadway for the cards, flowers and bus rides to church
and we appreciate having communion served us several
times. Bless you all.
