Happy New Year—2020 Is Here!“’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“The enormous breakthrough is that when you honor and accept the divine image within yourself, you cannot help
but see it in everybody else, too.” --Richard Rohr
As we all look forward to a new year, let us again re-commit ourselves to our faith and to the true life that faith gives us. Let us walk knowing that the Eternal is all there is and that our day to day is important but only in the light of how it relates to our God and to our love for Him and for all his creation.
January is a great time for self-examination, for reflection, and renewal. Let us ask ourselves…
- Do I look more like Jesus now than last year?- Do I balance my life so that I take care of my body, mind, and spirit so that I have energy to reach out to others?- Do I use the creativity God has blessed me with to bless others?- Do I enter the arena of life and risk being open and real with others even if it might hurt?- Do I commit to developing deeper relationships with God and others and spend my energy and resources to do so?
These are just a few questions worth pondering. You might be able to add a few more to this list. How is God calling you to new things in 2020?

Ministry Fair: Love Won Another
Someone needs you. You may not know their name or even recognize their face. But someone needs you. It could be a child in a Sunday School classroom, a family
without groceries, or a woman whose roof is caving in. God calls us all to be the hands and feet of Jesus by reaching out to those in need and being in service with one another. Learn more about the many and diverse service opportunities available to you through First Broad Street during our Ministry Fair: Love Won Another on Wednesday, January 8. Since this is a special Wednesday Night Live, we’ll serve dinner early starting at 5:15 p.m. The fair begins with a brief kickoff at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. After the kickoff, you can browse exhibits set up by each ministry area, talk to staff and volunteers, and sign up to be a part of God’s great work through FBS. If you want more details about a particular ministry area, consider attending a brief presentation:6:20-Contemporary worship and Traditional worship6:30-Missions and Young children6:40-Elementary school-aged children and Hospitality6:50-Youth (middle school and high school) and Congregational care7:00-Facilities and grounds
Undergrad ValentinesOn January 12, 19, and 26 we will be providing an opportunity to sponsor our undergraduate college students with a Valentine. The cost will be $15 for students to receive a Starbucks gift card. Sign ups will be held outside the Chapel.

Parlor Chats with Randy“Conversations about General Conference 2020”
As we approach General Conference 2020, it is important that FBS becomes informed about how the General Conference business is done, the issues that will be presented, and how decisions made in Minneapolis will impact our denomination, our Annual Conference, and the ministries of our local church. The CLC of our church has set up 16 sessions for our members to meet with our Lead Pastor and become more informed about this upcoming General Conference.
The Schedule for these sessions will be as follows:
Sunday Sessions (6:00 p.m.) Tuesday Sessions (6:30 p.m.) January 19 January 21 February 2 January 28 February 16 February 11 March 1 February 25 March 15 March 10 March 29 March 24 April 19 April 7, 14, 21
Each session will run about an hour and refreshments will be served.
Attendance will be limited to 12 people in order to facilitate conversation and give those who attend ample time for questions and comments.
Reservations are required and you can make those by calling the church office at 423-224-1502. If additional sessions are requested/needed, we will add them to the calendar.

Sunday School:Bible Story Focus: Jesus can do anything.
Memory Verse: “With God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26, NIVKey Question: Who can do anything?Bottom Line: Jesus can do anything.
Basic Truth: Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Rotation Sunday School: Main Idea: We may never know all there is to know about God, but God gives us lots of ways we can know Him. We can
know Him best through Jesus, who showed us how much God loves us. The more we know God, the better we can live His way each day.
Bible Memory Verse: The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.” Proverbs 2:6Bible Story References:
-:The Boy Jesus at the Temple — Luke 2:41-52-Jesus’ Baptism — John 1:19-42, John 3:22-36-Jesus is Tempted in the Desert — Luke 4:1-13-Jesus and John the Baptist — Matthew 11:1-6
Bottom Lines: -Knowing God is the most important thing.-If you want to know God start with Jesus.
-Discovering what’s in the Bible can help you make the right choice.-If you don’t understand something about God, ask.

Page 10Reaching OutA Look Back At Missions In 2019
We celebrate that 2019 has been a fruitful year in the Mission Ministry of First Broad Street UMC, both through your financial and in-kind gifts as well your participation in ministry opportunities. God’s faithfulness to the world continues to be manifested in our community, across the nation, and around the world through the passion and commitment of the congregation each day of the week…52 weeks a year. Please enjoy the photos that follow of some of the opportunities that enabled those whom we serve, and ourselves as well, to encounter Jesus. We thank you for participating in the healing of the brokenness around us, and we look forward to joining together again in the coming year as we partner with Jesus in the great work of the transformation of the world through mission and ministry!
