BACK TO SCHOOL SUNDAY

Broadmoor family,

As the month of August rapidly progresses and we move toward a new school year, we invite you to join us Sunday, August 22nd, in all three services as we celebrate all those who are headed back to school.

We will spend some time in the service recognizing students, school teachers, administrators, principals, etc. before providing a special blessing over them.

We also encourage you to join us at 5 pm under the carport for a time of prayer for all of our schools, as well as individual blessing, as desired.

We know that our back to school plans may look a little different, that we may be experiencing big changes. But we have joy as we remember that our God is with us through it all. In a world of so many changes, God is our constant. We love you and look forward to celebrating with you!

Blessings,

Your Children’s and Youth Ministries

CELEBRATION FOR ANNE CATHCART

May 23, 2021

Anne has been enjoying retirement for almost a year. Now that restrictions have been lifted, we are now able to gather together and celebrate her 40 years of love and devotion to the Broadmoor Buddies program.

Please join us on May 23rd where we will honor Anne during the 11 AM Traditional service and have a time of celebration immediately following.

A table will be set up in Fellowship Hall where we can leave notes of encouragement, words of thanks or memories of how Anne and the Buddies program have touched our lives.

We look forward to celebrating Anne with you.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS 2021

You can participate in this year’s interactive Stations of the Cross beginning on Sunday, March 28th at 4:30 PM!

Stay afterwards for the Palm Sunday fish fry! You can also come by and walk the Stations of the Cross throughout Holy Week during office hours (3/29 - 4/2). Make sure to call the office so that a staff member can give you your Stations of the Cross packet that will guide you through the experience. The last opportunity to walk the interactive stations is Good Friday evening (April 2nd) after the 6 PM service.

We hope this experience will bring you closer to the cross and round out your Lenten experience.

Palm Sunday | March 28, 2021

Services:

The Day School is very excited to host our 10th Annual St. Jude Trike-A-Thon on Friday, March 26.

Over the past eight years our Day School has raised over $26,000! This year we have set a goal of $3,000. Of course, we would LOVE to surpass that goal.

The Trike-A-Thon program teaches children safety lessons while riding their trikes or bicycles. We will begin Trike-a-Thon week during our library time learning the lessons. For this event, we will use our roller racers and ride the course in shifts with the 3’s in one parking lot and the 4’s in the other. We are inviting parents to watch. Even though we are going to be outside, we are asking parents to wear masks and practice social distancing.

It will be an educational and fun time for the kids, but also a time to raise money to send to St. Jude. A participant sponsor form is attached. This year we are also participating in the on-line option. To set up your fundraising page, visit stjude.org/trike. (Click on Find Your School and enter Broadmoor United Methodist Church Day School and go from there!) I would encourage those of you who have a Facebook page to post on there. It’s an easy way for you to get the information out to friends and family AND an easy way for them to pay on-line! OF COURSE, anyone may also make donations with check or cash! Please look over the envelope and return the parent/guardian permission slip.

This is going to be such a fun event for a great cause!

Broadmoor UMC’s ministry with Common Ground.

The Missions Team is collecting loads of clean, gently used men’s clothing (no suits) and men’s shoes to restock the Common Ground clothing closet. Every Wednesday, a dedicated group of Broadmoor volunteers works the clothing closet at Common Ground. This helps prepare for Thursday evenings, when at 5:30 p.m., our friends in Cedar Grove get to “shop” in the clothing closet.

Please look for the wicker collection baskets. There will be one located by our Administrative Offices and another located in the Fellowship Area by the Sanctuary.
