Devotions with Grandma“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or we can rejoice because thorn bushes have roses”- Unknown “Storms make trees take deeper roots”- Dolly Parton “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith!” 2 Timothy 4:7 Last week Shannon asked if I would be willing to write something for the church blog. I initially laughed, because I’m 1- in a master's program and already doing a lot of writing- and 2- a nurse so there’s always something that needs documented. But I also loved the idea. I’ve been a natural writer since I could hold a pen. I’ve always journaled, and several years ago I incorporated this into a Mother's Day gift for my mom and grandma where I shared favorite memories, quotes, scripture, etc. |

Lenten Title Chosen For Women's Book StudyLent in Plain Sight A Devotion Through Ten Objects Lent is thought of as a time to 'give up' something that is a distraction from feeling you are in God's presence. The hope is that you then create space to feel God more deeply in your life. We invite you to fill that space with the women of Broadway for a Lenten Devotional study. The women will begin Lent in Plain Sight on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM in the DeLong Lounge. After study and conversation, Broadway invites you to our Community Meal in in the Fellowship Hall at 6:00 PM. If you would like the church to order a book for you, contact the office at office@broadwayunited methodist.com or call 712-322-7741.

AnnouncementsCard Shower Register For Lenten Spiritual by February 15th Lent is a season that makes space for self-reflection, simplicity, and honesty. It’s a time to examine our habits and spiritual disciplines and engage with God through the lens of our own “wilderness” experiences. We’ll encounter God through imaginative reading of scripture, prayer through art, contemplative silence, and more. No experience necessary - only an open mind and heart!
