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.

RED BAG SUNDAY | APRIL 4, 2021

Items Needed...

• Cans of Soup

• Boxes of Cereal

• Boxes of Jiffy Cornbread Mix

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!

DECEMBER 6th is RED BAG Sunday!

• Cranberry Sauce

• Jiffy Cornbread Mix

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.
