As I had shared with you last week, we are in the ‘Stewardship season” at Broadway. Stewardship is a difficult word for some, because we associate it mostly with finances. And, even though there is nothing wrong with talking about money in church -- stewardship does not refer to only finances. Webster Dictionary defines stewardship as “conducting, supervising, or managing of something, and “the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care.” So, when we talk about stewardship we are talking about everything that we are entrusted with. So I ask -- are we, as a church, being good stewards of all that God has entrusted us with?

I don’t know about you, but I continue to have a hard time keeping up with the weeks and months and what special days they bring. My memory seems to be frozen in Spring! But, the falling temperatures and the changing colors of the leaves are a reminder that fall is indeed here! In church life, that means Annual Church Conference, fall programs, assessing the budget for next year and planning for Advent and Christmas season. 

I want to first take a moment to thank you for the calls, cards, messages, flowers, wine :-) , chocolate, and the surprise zoom celebration with so many of you. I am grateful to Satia and Charolette for planning, and for every one of you who participated. I had a perfect day! I felt special and grateful to be part of the Broadway family. Thank you all for being such an amazing part of this community and for making this a welcoming place for all.
