Broadway’s

friendship with the

congregation of Second

Baptist Church continues

to grow and bear fruit.

This Saturday, October

18, the men of both

churches will host a time

of fellowship and

sharing. And, imagine what fruit may grow from

that!

At 7:00 p.m., in Broadway’s Outdoor

Worship Area, these men will gather for

worship, music and conversation. Pastor Tim

Carson and Rev. Clyde Ruffin will provide the

leadership, with music from both churches—

and time to talk for everyone, before and after

the service begins.

Saturday should be a great evening to be

outside on a cool fall night in Missouri. This

event is open to all churches, so please share

this information with your

own circle of friends and

co-workers. There will

be plenty of cider and

snacks for all who

attend!

In the event that our

famous Missouri weather

doesn’t cooperate, the

event will be moved inside to our Fellowship

Hall. So rian or shine, join the men of

Broadway and Second Baptist for an evening to

remember.

In the past, youth

mission trip destinations

have been selected by

adult leaders, with the

youth becoming

involved for a final vote

between two possible

destinations. When we

are asking that our

youth provide leadership in so many other

areas, our adult leaders asked an important

question—why not open up mission trip site

selection to youth leaders as well?

These high school leaders were selected

after an application process. For the 2015 trip,

the youth mission leaders are Lily Fisher, Jacob

Bannon, Staton Zaner and ???? These leaders

will work closely with mission team veteran Luci

Fichter and Kahlea

Wilson to select the

2015 destination for

the team.

The team will

be tasked with

several important

aspect of planning

a successful youth

mission experience. Among the issues to be

tackled are work site research, worship themes,

fundraising and the all-important t-shirt design!

The team will do much of the research and

preparation, working with adult leadership and

youth mission team members.

Congratualtions to the members of our first

Mission Trip Planning Team—Braodway is

blessed to have such spirit-filled leaders among

our youth!

Leaves are falling by

the bagfull, the nights are

bordering on cold—what

could this possibly mean?

It is time for Broadway’s

annual Trick or Trunk, of

course!

On Sunday, October

26, everyone is invited to

be a part of the fun. If

you are long past trick or

treating yourself, maybe you would enjoy

decorating your vehicle and handing out treats to

our little friends and neighbors. Trick or Trunk is a

great activity for a small group or Sunday School

class as well—pool your creativity and candy and

spend an hours watching children smile!

If you can be a part of the fun and bring your

vehicle and passing out treats, you should arrive

in the west lot between 3:304:30 p.m. If you plan

to bring a vehicle, please sign up in the

Fellowship Hall or email Barb at

bstephenson09@tranquility.net. Trick or treating

will begin at 4:30 p.m., with the costume parade at

5:00 p.m.

For those who are unable to attend, donations

of bottled water and candy are greatly

appreciated. A collection box is located in

Fellowship Hall.

The few...the proud...the Broadway Moore

Mission Team!

Broadway’s mission to Moore, OK, will begin

on Sunday, October 19 through Saturday,

October 25. Our team of five members will

spend the week in Moore, a city which is still

recovering from a massive F5 tornado that struck

in the spring of 2013. Our team members are:

Jim and Sandy Stallman, Marilyn McCreary, Barb

Wyss and Marv Pederson.

The team’s work will vary, depending on the

needs of the community. It may mean

demolishing a damaged structure on day; and

then sorting cans at a local food panty the next.

As always, flexbility and the ability to “go with the

flow” are among the most importants tools in a

mission team kit!

This mission trip was fully funded for each

participant, thanks to over a yar of weekly

fundraising by Service/Misison and Outreach

Ministry members! What fundraising? For the

last year, MOM members have been cooking and

serving the weekly Youth dinner on Wednesday

evening. While the primary goal of serving the

Wednesday meals continues to be fundrasisng

for future mission trips, a secondary goal has

taken shape. The Wednesday night meals are

developing into true fellowship events, with

usually 12-15 adults who are also sharing the

meal.

The fellowshp meal begins at 5:30 p.m. each

Wedensday. The cost is $5 per person. The

meal is always “hot and ready,” and may we say,

much better than what comes out of a drive-

trhough window! Stop by on a Wednesday

evening after work and see what’s cookin’ at

Broadway!

Broadway Ministries

If you are a new member or frequent

visitor, and you hear a reference to the

“Broadway Spirit,” do you think we have a

ghost of pastors past roaming our halls? We

don’t, but you can find out what we mean by

the Broadway Spirit and more during two

upcoming Sunday morning classes!

On Sunday, October 26, join Darren Day

in the Fellowship Hall at 10:10 a.m. for the

Broadway 201 class, a look back at our history,

and an overview of tradtions and current

ministries. In our Disciples 101 class, Roger

and Dixie Fisher will discuss the beliefs and

practices of the Christian Church (Disciples of

Christ) on Sunday, November 9 at 10:10 a.m.

in the Fellowship Hall.

Do you have an hour or two to spend with

some of Broadway’s littlest Disciples?

Children’s Ministry needs a few extra hands

for the Kidzway program during our 9:00 a.m.

Traditional Worship service. Kidzway

encourages parents of young children, from age

three through third grade, to allow their children

to sit with volunteers and have a “big church’

experience of their own—staying in the

Sanctuary. The need for more volunteers has

arisen because more parents are bringing their

children into worship, and that’s what Kidzway

was desgined to encourage!

And if you like to cuddle babies, do we have

a job for you! Nursery Assistants are needed

during the Christian Education hour. For

information on either of these volunteer

opportunities, contact Barb at 445.5312 or

bstephenson09@tranquility.net.
