Advent Study begins Mondays , Nov 25 from 10 AM or 6 PM.
Rev. Mimi McDowell and Rev. Kathy Fitzhugh will lead us in our Advent study, Making Room by Ed Robb. Often our Advent preparations have an inward focus as we prepare for the significance of God breaking into our world through the birth of the Christ child. But in a closer examination of the Advent story, we quickly learn that the focus of the coming of the newborn king is outward. Dr. Ed Robb explores the warmth of welcome at Christmas following interactions with Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and the magi. Just as Jesus made room in God’s kingdom for a host of people that society wanted to leave on the margins, beginning with the appearance of the shepherds, we too should be asking ourselves who we can make room for this Christmas. Perhaps it is to the people in your community, or the newly immigrated family in town that doesn’t speak your language. Or maybe it’s the next-door neighbor who just settled in from yet another corporate move? The story of Christ’s birth encourages us to widen our borders and increase our sense of community and make room for others.
Sign up by emailing office@broadmoorumc.org. Cost for materials is $20 for a paperback book or purchase your own digital copy.

Aldersgate Day marks the pivotal moment when John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, experienced a profound spiritual awakening on May 24th, 1738. It was on this day that Wesley felt his heart "strangely warmed" while attending a meeting on Aldersgate Street in London, igniting a flame of spiritual renewal that would spread across the world.
Come celebrate Aldersgate Day with us as we honor the legacy of John Wesley and the enduring impact of his faith. Bring your friends, family, and an appetite for cake as we rejoice in this momentous occasion together!

But when they follow their own inclinations and set themselves up as the ultimate authority, then poverty, strife, and every kind of evil bring grief and suffering.
