Last Sunday's Message
Pastor Appreciation Sunday

Pastor Appreciation Sunday

Hello everyone,

With Pastor appreciation Sunday fast approaching the One Board members spoke about what we as a church could do to show Pastor Brian how much we appreciate him. We are so very thankful for all Pastor Brian has brought to our church and we thought it would be a great way to show him how much we appreciate him by having our congregation write him notes. You could simply say thank you, share something meaningful he has done for you, or just include a little note to brighten his day! These will be presented on Sunday, October 11, 2026 during the services.

And, please remember to express gratitude to Summer and the girls and Pastor Patti. We will see it gets to them.

Jamie Swanson, One Board Chair

4th Quarter Partner Announced

4th Quarter Partner Announced

by Johnny Lynn Williams

With November 11 being Veterans Day, it seems fitting to make our fourth quarter mission project in support of veterans.

New Visions Homeless Services is opening 10 apartments on the their 15th Street campus specifically for veterans needing temporary housing. Tenants will be able to stay 90-180 days, and being with other veterans will hopefully give them the same sense of community they had while in the military. They will get various types of physical and mental assistance, and help to move to more permanent housing.

Each apartment will be set up with things such as new sheets, towels, dishes, and silverware.  Residents will then be able to take them with them when they move. Because of that, New Visions is seeking donations of both items and monetary. They even have an Amazon wish list that you can shop for [HERE]. If you prefer to pick up items a list is included below.

We will have laundry baskets in the Centrex for any donations you would like to make. If you’d like to see more about this endeavor or other services they supply, visit http://newvisionshs.org/

Veterans Apartments Collection:

  • Twin Size Bedding
  • Pillows
  • Cups, Plates, Silverware
  • Pots and Pans
  • Washcloths and Towels
  • Brooms and Dustpans
  • Trashcans
  • Shower Curtains and Hooks
  • Laundry Detergent and Cleaning Supplies
  • Toilet Paper and Paper Towels
  • Laundry Baskets

September completed our 3rd quarter tithing partnership with Bridges Out of Poverty. We will very soon present them with a check that represents 10% of the amount of giving Broadway received from July 1 through September 30, 2026.

To submit a prayer request for the Wednesday Heart to Heart Prayer Community, please complete the request form at the Welcome Center desk and place it in the basket or email teresa@broadwayunitedmethodist.com. We are trying to capture the requests shared during worship but having them in writing helps us with accuracy.

Book Club at Broadway October Meeting
Because of the weather we postponed our field trip to the Omaha Central Library to Tuesday October 20, 2026.  We plan to meet at 10:00 AM and take a look around, grab some coffee, and spend time discussion titles for our next couple of reads.  Please bring suggestions.  Then those who wish can join us at First UMC to walk their labyrinth. 
October weather can be cool, so bring a jacket. Carpooling may be available, please contact teresaf@broadwayunitedmethodist.com to arrange.
