The Bridge Between Hosannah and Hallelujah - Thursday, March 26, 2026

In Ancient Israel, sin was often depicted as a sticky substance, something spread in the touching, cleansed as much by washing as by piety. 

Knowing this, it makes sense that holiness was associated with a set-apartness.

BUMC Community Gardens

Springing into Action, Planting Hope

In the past few months a couple of small groups have had conversations around caring for creation and food insecurity solutions.  Because Broadway has an established community garden, it seems an efficient way to get some of the shared ideas started.  The garden in located within a couple of blocks from the church on Benton Street between Kanesville and Broadway streets.

Easter Lilies

Memorials and honorariums are now being accepted for the purchase of Lilies for Easter worship.  We are suggesting a donation of $10.00 for each lily, however we will remember and honor your loved ones with any amount you can give.  Please complete the [ONLINE FORM] or pick one up at the Welcome Center desk, complete it and make your donation [ONLINE], or by cash or check (designated for flowers) and place it in the Sunday offering or return to the office.  If you wish to keep a lily, let us know and when they are removed from the Sanctuary we will save one for you.

Basket Auction

As part of Broadway's fundraiser for the tower clock repairs, we will be holding a silent auction of gift baskets.  If you or your ministry or small group would like to put together a basket, please see Shannon, Kasey, or leave a message for them with the church office. 

[Suggested Gift Basket Ideas]

Scholarships

[Scholarships for New and Returning Students] - Deadline for applications is April 26, 2026

Disaster Relief

There are many hurting and rebuilding after the rush or recent natural disasters. We ask you to stay in prayer for those who are in need of humanitarian relief in Cuba and those who are recovering from wildfires in Western Nebraska and South Dakota and those waiting for flood waters to recede in Hawaii.

If you are feeling called to assist financial relief, we would first direct you to The United Committee on Relief.  Your gift there will be directed where it is most needed.  If you prefer to give to a more targeted gift, visit the [Great Plains Conference Disaster Relief Fund] for Nebraska wildfire relief.
