Wednesday Night Education Hour  As we begin our journey of Black History Month here is a reflection from a member of Broadway who is also an active participant of the Anti-Racist White Caucus.

“Honoring the memory of Dr. King means we embody and live his message. We dig deep and begin the journey to look inside – remove our blinders of fear – risk seeing who we truly are – what damage has been done – silencing our souls’ loss of humanity as we exchange it for safety.  Dr. King spoke and walked and marched his message; continuing to cry freedom for all who are held bound by the chains of racism and hatred. True honoring of Dr. King’s message is to do the same – walk and live and look and cry freedom.”  ~ Teresa Seliga

“The Legacy Unfolds” – During Black History Month we gain deeper knowledge by exploring the King Papers Projects and other great works of the civil rights movement. Led by Douglas Foster and Paula Roderick we will experience ways we can contribute to the justice movement today. Join us Wednesdays at 7 pm (Feb. 1, 8, 15 and 22) in the Pillow Room.

“Exploring the Gospels” Bible Study — Sundays at 10 am

Come in early for the 11 o'clock service, or stay late after the 8:45 service for our relaxed and informal look at the Gospels! We will gather together to read and discuss the Gospels to discover what makes each one unique. Each Gospel contains a different perspective on the life and ministry of Jesus, which helps to shape our understanding of who Jesus is. We'll be looking at the birth stories, the miracles, parables, death, resurrection, and more!

Come join us in the Pillow Room starting February 5th and continuing through March 25th.

Supplies needed: a Bible (if you need one, please ask!)

Led by Student Pastor Ben Bower.

First Sunday of Black History Month : Feb. 5: perspective

To kickoff Black History Month, we will focus on what it means to understand and embrace different perspectives that help shape and inform the ways in which we think and live our lives. There are longstanding constructs of exclusion and privilege that are in some cases overt and others subtle, which limit our ability to truly embrace inclusion. Using Scripture to guide us, we will explore what it means to be an inclusive congregation that works to change existing paradigms so that everyone has a seat at the table.
