Poinsettias Will Arrive Christmas Eve

Poinsettias Will Arrive Christmas Eve

A Gift to Remember and Honor Our Loved Ones

As has been Broadway’s tradition, we will be adding poinsettias to the sanctuary for Christmas.

If you would like to donate in memory of or in honor of a loved one, please give us their names. 

Also, if you would like to contribute to the Flower fund, you can use the QR code in the bulletin insert, give online or leave a check.  Any amount given over the cost of the poinsettias will be used for community relief through the Pastor's Fund.

A form to complete your information will be inside your bulletin the next two Sundays.  For those who prefer to do this online you may do so HERE.
