Shepherd Ministers call members on their birthdays or anniversaries of joining the church, write notes to those who are ill or confined to their homes, contact those who have suffered a loss, and pray for those who are ill or grieving. For more information email: Kristen Riggsby

In December and during the week leading up to Easter, volunteers make blessings baskets which bring cheer to those confined to their homes and no longer able to worship at Broadway. For more information email: Bob Madeja

Do not hurry
as you walk with grief
it does not help the journey.
Be not disturbed
by memories that come unbidden
let God support you.
Be gentle with the one who
walks through grief.
If it is you,
be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive
walk slowly
pausing often
Take time, be gentle
as you as walk with grief.

Since 1995, Broadway’s neighborhood Agape Meal has provided worship and fellowship at a family-style meal for homeless neighbors, church members, and community volunteers. This meal isn’t just about feeding the hungry – it’s about creating time and space for us to build relationships that celebrate the gifts of all of our neighbors. Each week, the Agape Meal serves about 100 guests.

The meal is served from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. and welcome our neighbors and guests back around the table for a shared meal and worship together. To volunteer or for more information, contact Diego Román.
