Youth Leave for Camp in Kerrville, TX!
After more than a year, our Broadway Youth left this past Sunday for Kerrville, Tx where they are attending Youth Camp with six other churches as part of the Southwest Baptist Youth Camping Association. We are thankful for our Broadway chaperones and Youth Ministry Coordinator, Emily Davis who has planned a wonderful time of fellowship, fun, and spiritual growth. Please keep the youth, chaperones, and leaders in your prayers as they are away. We look forward to their return this Friday, June 25.

Worship Sunday, June 27, at 10:50 a.m.
This Sunday the Chancel Choir will sing “Psalm 46” by John Ness Beck. Guest organist is Bradley Reznicek. Pastor Ryon Price will preach from Mark 5:21-43.

Grants Available for Members in Need
Many members of our congregation are feeling the financial effects of the COVID 19 crisis.  Some have been furloughed from their jobs, some have incurred medical expenses, while others have lost their livelihood altogether.  In an attempt to assist with the many needs arising from this crisis, funds from the Congregational Care and the pastoral care budgets are being made available for our members.
 
Each grant amount will be up to $500, depending on the need of the individual or family.  We are asking that members in need of assistance complete a simple grant application form.  Information from the application will be kept in strict confidence.  Our Pastoral staff will review the applications and make the grant assignments.
 
If you and/or your family could use some help during these uncertain times, please email Fran Patterson for an application.  Also, if you are looking for ways to help during this crisis, please contact Fran.
 

This week’s tip: Have an address, email, or phone number change? You can update the church directly from the app! From the home screen select “Profile”, then “Edit Your Profile”, make the changes then submit. Changes submitted update the church database.

Summer Giving
Summer is the season of the year where our church’s expenditures often exceed our contributions. This year is no exception as we have already re-opened worship services and our church offices. Youth and children’s camps resume this summer and we continue to provide a wide range of essential services through our Community Center. Summer electric bills, repairs, and routine maintenance do not take a vacation. Thank you for your faithful support of Broadway’s ministries. Please prayerfully consider how God is leading you to give over the summer. Thanks.
