Thank you for the fantastic turn out to our Charity concert in aid of the Leprosy Mission. The rousing music and Don’s explanations of the how the songs, originally hymns, came about were greatly enjoyed. Everyone was encouraged to take part, and did so enthusiastically, especially with the more familiar songs!
What does SOS mean to the members of Broadway United Reformed Church?
It is not an emergency call or a fundraising event, it’s an invitation, reaching out to those who share worship together and go home to eat alone after Sunday service.
SOLO ON SUNDAY lunch was born to connect with each other, to get to know each other better and to enjoy sharing Sunday lunch in fellowship and conversation.
Insights into a Sunday Service
Two more members of our congregation gained further insights into how Sunday Services are structured and created. This brings the total number of attendees to nine. Anyone is welcome to join members of our worship group for an informal and informative chat. You can ask any questions you might have as well. You will be helped to a “peep behind the curtain” to discover how the scriptures and hymns are chosen, and how prayers and sermons are created. Valuable for anyone who is a current members of the congregation, or from another denomination, or don’t attend any church but are just are plain curious. Ring Mark for more info 07949 296 738
Boardom Busters! Are GO
Our first Boardom Busters! table games afternoon saw 15 people come together. They choose the games they’d like to play from our large and varied store of games. Then folk were introduced to each other, and old friends reunited, for an enjoyable afternoon. Together we enjoyed: games we knew, learning new games, the cake, the coffee, the chat, meeting old friends, and began to make new ones. If you’d like to join us – just pop in. Every first Tuesday of every month, 2-4pm in the URC hall. Next ones are 5th Sept, 3rd Oct, 7th Nov, 5th Dec. Hope to see you then. Or ring Mark on 07949 296 738 to find out more.
Helping to discover a cure
Pam Nelson has smashed the Alzheimer’s Research Trek. She yomped a marathon, yes 26 miles, in just one day. Pam cares for her husband Stuart and both weekly attend Today’s our Day at Broadway URC. We’re there for folk living with dementia and their carers. We raised £200 at our Ukelele and Cake afternoon which went some way to helping Pam smash her funding target too. A big thank you to everyone who supported this cause.
Ukulele Sing-Along
Today’s our Day organised a “Ukulele sing-along and cake afternoon”. Neighbours who attend our various activity groups were all invited.
The Harvington Ukulele Group treated us to their trademark happy renditions and all 64 of us sang along to the words on the screen. Tea, cake and laughter followed to complete a joyful afternoon.
