Looking for something unique to do on a Friday night? You don’t want to miss a fun evening for the whole family. Go back in time with this Rockin’ Around the Clock Party and help be a part of history as we join community members in helping to revive this historic landmark.

Children’s Ministry at a church wasn’t something I’ve ever pictured myself doing before, but nearly 12 years later, I can’t imagine not being in the Children’s Ministry world.  Since we have quite a few new members here, I’ll tell you a little of my story of how I literally fell into this role.

This week Broadway’s Mission Focus team announced our 2nd Quarter Partnership. Saving Grace is a unique professional logistics and distribution solution that provides the metro area’s only dedicated food rescue service.  They also build awareness of the problems of excess food and hunger in our community and encourage everyone to help prevent wasting food.

How can a few garden beds help with the food insecurity of our neighbors? Join us with your thoughts and questions for our discussion on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 6:00 PM in the DeLong Lounge. Mike is ready to tell what has been done and what needs to be done to get food growing. And, we will talk about ways we can welcome our community with other opportunities centered around the garden beds.

Even if you don't care to get dirt under your fingernails, you are welcome to join us as we plant, grow, harvest, and share.
