This Sunday, we’ll gather for worship and reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 18:21–35, a story that challenges us to think about forgiveness, grace, and what it means to extend the mercy we have received.
How many times do we forgive? How much is enough? And what might change when mercy becomes something we practice rather than something we measure?
Come join us this Sunday as we worship, wonder, and consider what it means to live with hearts that make room for grace.

Dear Broadway Family,
Following a meeting held during the first week of August and subsequent action, we are providing an update on the Christian Life Center (CLC) gym renovation project and share upcoming opportunities for our Congregation to learn more, ask questions, and participate in the conversation about the future of this space.
The Importance of Communication — Upcoming Meeting
We recognize the importance of communication throughout this process. In that spirit, we are pleased to announce an upcoming town hall meeting, which will be held in the CLC on:
-
Sunday, September 13 (12:15–1:30 p.m.) This meeting has been cancelled.
- Thursday, September 17 (6:30–7:45 p.m.)
The primary purpose is to provide opportunities for everyone to understand the vision, ask questions, and provide feedback so that we can make thoughtful decisions and move forward in the best interest of the Church. As we continue to explore the possibilities, there are many considerations to take into account including:
- Our existing and future use of the CLC, both sports and non-sports related
- The scope and phasing of any potential renovation
- Financial requirements and future fundraising opportunities
- Safety and security
- The long-term financial stability of the Church
- Congregational input and support

Happiness is Handbells
Do you enjoy the beautiful sounds of handbells in worship at Broadway? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of the group making that music?
Chancel Bells is looking for new members! Come join a welcoming group that enjoys making music, learning together, and sharing the joy of handbell music in worship. Previous music-reading experience is helpful, but not required. What matters most is a willingness to learn!
Whether you’ve rung handbells before or have always been curious to give it a try, this is a great opportunity to have fun, make new friends, share your gifts, and help fill our worship with music.
Rehearsals: Thursdays, 6:00–7:00 p.m.
For more information or to sign up, contact Nancy Dreier at njdreier@gmail.com. Come ring with us!

Thank You
The Stallman family thanks you for all the cards, hugs, words of sympathy, and loving care you have shown us during this difficult time. Jim’s Celebration of Life held at the church was exactly as he envisioned with beautiful music provided by Ed Varnum, outstanding food, and a room full of people sharing memories, laughter, and good times. Love did lead!
