We give thanks for their safe return and are inspired by their beautiful music and hearts!

June By the Numbers

• Agape Meal: 370 meals served  
• Adult Clothing Ministry: 68 people served

Thanks to our wonderful staff and volunteers who make these services possible and those who contribute financially to support the ministries and mission of Broadway. 
 
During these summer months, we need bottled waters to share with our guests. You can drop off a case in the blue cart outside the first-floor church offices or drop them off at the Community Center, 9:00 – noon, Monday through Friday.

Room In the In Resumes
On Monday night, Broadway welcomed its first Room in the Inn guests since February 2020. This ministry, which provides meals, shelter, and fellowship for men experiencing homelessness, had been suspended due to safety concerns.
 
Precautions are in place—including masking and safe social distancing—to ensure everyone’s safety.

Broadway will be hosting Room in the Inn on Monday nights during July and August. Innkeepers are needed to stay overnight with guests, Since all guests are men, our Innkeepers also need to be men. If you are able and willing to serve as Innkeeper, please contact Peter Nelson to volunteer.
