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.

This coming Sunday will be the 28th Sunday of zoom worship! Seasons and celebrations have come and gone, and we have learned to celebrate them differently, to worship differently and to be community differently -- for even though we have not been ‘together’ in the same space like we were used to -- we have been in community. As I said on ‘Broadway Connect’ fb: ‘We may not have gathered AT church, we have been gathering AS church.’ And that is important for all of us to remember. We are a beloved community and we shall remain that -- whatever changes come our way.
