Discernment Process
Our congregational discernment process is moving forward. Members of our discernment team, along with others who were trained to help, met in small groups with over 75 youth and adults in the church. They talked with them about times when Broadway has had special meaning for them, and they talked with them about God’s hopes and dreams for Broadway’s future. The thoughts were compiled and discussed by the discernment team, and then a second set of conversations among members occurred at the pot luck luncheon a few weeks ago. That day the team got some feedback and clarification.
Now the team will work on distilling and prioritizing the feedback into a report about where the congregation feels God is leading us. On the basis of this, the staff, along with committees, teams, deacons, and other lay leaders, will make specific plans and set specific goals to help us move in that direction.
My thanks to the discernment team and to all those who are participating in the conversation!

Thank You Notes
Dear Broadway Family,
Thank you for all the prayers, cards, food and many other acts of kindness extended during the illness and passing of my father. The church, notably the Seekers and SALT classes, were a great source of inspiration and support to my dad in his final years. We are so thankful for our amazing church family.

Thank you from the West End School!
To everyone at the Broadway Baptist Church,
Again, all of us at the West End School are so very grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity. The end of the school year is rapidly approaching and graduation will be on May 19. All of the students have worked so hard and have made remarkable strides. Much of this would not have been possible without your unfailing generous support. When the boys do well moving to other schools it is you who have given them a good start and a hand up.
Bless you,
Deborah and Robert Blair
