Anticipation. Hope. A
promise fulfilled. All are a part of
the Season of Advent. At
Broadway, our celebration of
Advent has been simply beautiful,
and we have many days left to
enjoy and prepare for the coming
of the Christ Child.
As always, there will be special worship, music,
food and service during Advent. On Sunday, December
11, we can all look forward to Goodie Sunday, a long-
standing tradition at Broadway. Bring your favorite
Christmas “goodie,” whether that treat is an old family
recipe or your favorite store-bought treat, and share it
with the Broadway family. Connections Ministry will
provide hot apple cider and get all of us in the spirit with
special decorations in Fellowship Hall.
Also on December 11, Broadway’s children will
share their gifts and talents with all of us in their
Christmas program at the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. services.
During the 10:10 a.m. Christian Education hour, there
will be an Advent craft celebration in the Christian Life
Center for all. The SERV Sale, the Tree of Hope and
Youth Christmas Wreath sales will also continue on
December 11 (see related articles).
Our vocal and instrumental musicians will share
their gifts on Sunday, December 18. The 9:00 a.m.
service will feature the Chancel Choir and Bells, while
the Broadway Ensemble will provide the music for the
11:15 a.m. service.
Christmas Eve, December
24, will offer four distinct
worship services. At 11:00
a.m., our Service of Carols
and Scripture will be followed
by a soup and sandwich
luncheon in Fellowship Hall.
This service is perfect for
those who are traveling, or
would prefer not to drive after nightfall. At 5:30 p.m., the
Ensemble will provide the music for our Contemporary
Christmas Eve. At 8:00 p.m., the Chancel Choir is
featured in our Traditional Christmas Eve service. Our
Midnight Christmas Eve worship at 11:00 p.m. will tell the
story of Christmas with bluegrass and acoustic
instruments. Communion, candlelight and Silent Night
will be a part of each of our Christmas Eve services.
Christmas Day arrives on Sunday, December 25.
We will celebrate the day with one service at 10:30 a.m.
There will also be a New Year’s Day worship service at
10:30 a.m. There will be no Christian Education classes
on December 25 and New Year’s Day.

A Simply Beautiful Advent Season
At Broadway our Christmas Eve
services – all four of them now – are
beloved standard fare. If you want an
early service because you don’t drive at
night or are heading out of town, join us
at 11am followed by a soup lunch. Our
contemporary service with a children’s
moment is at 5:30 p.m. The Traditional
worship with all the smells and bells is
at 8:00 p.m. And then – for the night
owls – our Bluegrass Christmas is at
11:00 p.m. All of these worship services will include
Candle lighting and Communion, so you won’t miss out
no matter when you attend.
What we do NOT have every year is Christmas Day
falling on Sunday. But this year is the year. On
Christmas Day we will have one service at 10:30 and
no Christian Education. In fact,
that will be the same pattern we
follow on New Year’s Day, as it
also falls on Sunday.
I want to invite families with
children to come to Christmas Day
worship in jammies – that’s right,
after your present opening is over
and the living room is awash with
wrapping paper, just bundle them
up as they are, jammies and all,
and come to the church and sing carols and hear the
Christmas story with the church family.
To us a Savior is born!
ON BROADWAY…. with Pastor Tim Carson
Thanks to the generosity of our members, the Get
On the Bus campaign has reached its goal of
$60,000, and now the search is on for two well-
maintained pre-owned mini-buses, But one piece of
Broadway’s Transportation Ministry won’t be found at
the auto auctions—volunteers to drive our buses!
The 14-passenger buses that we will be
purchasing do not require a special license.
However, bus drivers must be at least 25 years old. If
you are interested in driving one of Broadway’s
buses, please contact Ingrid Luckenbill in the church
