 Children's Christmas Pageant

 Oh what a wonderful feeling we all felt last Sunday when we watched and listened to Broadway's Children as they performed in the 2012 Children's Christmas Pageant, Sing a Glad Noel.  Bravo to all of the children for their performance.  Thank you to the children's families for their support in making this year's program one of the highlights of the Season at Broadway.  A very special note of thanks goes out to Ellen and Mitchell Flottman for their direction in the program, Kristi Larsen for providing piano accompaniment, Staton Zaner for controlling the lights and sound board, and to the Youth Choir for gifting the program with their beautiful voices.

 

 Third Grade Bible Workshop and Presentation

Information on the Third Grade Bible Workshop and Presentation will be mailed to all third grade families this week.  If you have a third grader and do not receive a mailing, please contact Barb.

Pathways

 

We have finished our Advent Unit, Journey to Bethlehem. The Children learned about how the people in Bible Times waited in anticipation for the coming of the Savior and how during Advent we wait and prepare to celebrate the birth of the promised Savior, Jesus.   We also focused on how the coming of Jesus is the gift of Christmas and how it is something we can celebrate all year.  This Unit's Outreach Activity started the first Sunday of the Unit, when we made Christmas Cards for our homebound Broadway members.  These cards were delivered during home communion on December 9th.  The children have also been asked to do something special for someone during  the Season.  They have been sharing  those kinds acts with all of us during our gathering time on Sunday Mornings.  

 

 Pathways will not be in session on December 23rd or December 30th
