Alka's Angle

Broadway UMC has survived and continued to be a presence in the Lakeview neighborhood all these years because of many committed people like you, who have been faithful, who have kept this building safe, clean and welcoming for all and have helped in whatever way necessary to maintain the grounds!

Some of you may have read the book, “Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality” by Colby Martin in which Colby unpacks the 6 passages that have traditionally been used by folk against our queer siblings. Even if you have not read the book and have struggled with similar questions, here is your chance!

As you may remember, around June we had shared with you that the elected leaders of Broadway and Holy Covenant UM churches have been having conversations about the state of our respective churches and exploring possibilities of ministry together.

Around June we had shared with you that the elected leaders of Broadway and Holy Covenant UM churches have been having conversations about the state of our respective churches and exploring possibilities of ministry together. So far- we have had the exploratory meeting, worshipped at each other’s buildings, shared our membership, worshipper and financial statistics, and have also invited your input/ideas towards this possibility. We have now decided to have an all church meeting at both locations and give you an opportunity to ask us questions.

In just about a month, the kids will be back in school (CPS is scheduled to open August 26th) so we are focused on getting our backpacks ready to be donated...
