Día de Muertos

Thanks to Claire Riser, Carroll Smith and everyone who created the Day of the Dead Celebration. Worship is the work of the people and it took each of us to create a service where our joy and love and tears were brought to the living God.

Stewardship Moments -- Finding God in Unexpected Places

Yesterday, I offered a blessing and took the stack of stewardship letters with pledge cards to the Post Office. I am so grateful for the love, creativity, courage and wisdom of the people of God who are gathered in this church. The Trustees invite everyone, whether you simply read this email, or have a key to the building to share in the support of this ministry by making a financial pledge for 2016. The ministries of the Broad Bay Church are transforming lives--not just the lives of the people who gather on Sunday morning but also those we don't even know--the people we encounter at work and in the community, the children who wait for the bus outside the church, those who stood in front of the memorial we placed after the shooting in Emanuel  AME Church.  Our money, our time, our prayers, and God's grace keep the ministry of the Broad Bay Church vibrant and relevant.   Please make a pledge or send a check.  You may also make a pledge, simply by emailing our treasurer, Evelyn Clowes.
