You are invited to join us this Sunday at 10 AM for our monthly All Means All worship service at Broadway Christian Church.
Rev. Ed Varnum will bring a message titled “Where Love Leads,” drawing from Matthew 18:15-20 and inviting us to consider what it means to let love guide the way we live, listen, and walk alongside one another.
Come as you are. Come with questions, hope, uncertainty, or joy. There is a place for you here.

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!

Join Team Broadway for the 2026 CROP Hunger Walk!
Sunday, September 20, 2026
Stephens Lake Park, Gordon Shelter
Registration: 1:00 p.m. | Walk begins: 1:30 p.m.
We invite Broadway members of all ages to join Team Broadway for this year’s Columbia CROP Hunger Walk.
The CROP Hunger Walk brings people together to help fight hunger and food insecurity both in our local community and around the world. It’s a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends and neighbors, enjoy time together, and put our faith into action.
Can’t walk this year? You can still be part of Team Broadway! Whether you’re unable to participate because of mobility, health, scheduling, or simply because walking isn’t your thing, you can make a difference by sponsoring our walkers. Every gift helps!
Come walk with us, support us, or cheer us on. There’s a place for everyone on Team Broadway!
| Thank You for Community Support and Outreach | |
Free Labyrinth Retreat
We are all invited to join the annual Fall Labyrinth Retreat on Saturday, September 19 from 10 am - noon here at Rock Bridge Christian Church.
Rev. Kim Leon, a Disciples of Christ minister, chaplain, and member at Rock Bridge CC will lead a morning of learning and exploration of labyrinths, including a brief presentation, time for a labyrinth walk and/or finger labyrinth practice, and opportunities to reflect, meditate, pray and create.
This retreat is free and all are welcome to attend. RSVP by September 14, so they will have enough materials and refreshments.
Contact Kim at kimberlykleon@gmail.com or call our church office (573-442-9592) if you have any questions.
They've held this retreat for three years for their members and now are looking forward to sharing the experience with a wider circle this year!

Building Safety & Access Reminder
As part of Broadway's commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment, our governing board implemented an enhanced keypad and keycard access system in August 2025. To help protect our congregation, guests, staff, and community partners, all exterior doors remain locked except during worship services, weddings, and funerals.
We ask everyone to support this effort by not propping doors open or requesting exceptions to the policy. All Broadway members are welcome to obtain a keycard by contacting the church office, signing a keycard agreement, and accepting the responsibilities of keycard access. Ministry teams and regularly scheduled groups may also be assigned a building access PIN.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure Broadway remains a safe, welcoming, and caring place for everyone.
