A collection of good things happening all around us lately.
See Paul (and his journey) on our wall
On Sunday, 51 people gathered at Broad and Washington for the monthly network AMPM, a public meeting designed with kids and families in mind.
Courtney Jones recaps what happened on Sunday:
“We went on a journey with Paul and Silas, got thrown in jail, sang praises, had an earthquake, and introduced the jailer to Jesus. We also learned to do the Fanga (a Nigerian dance) and ate trail mix as part of our journey!”
As part of the journey, the kids (with some help) created a huge map that shows all of the places Paul visited along the way. The map is now hanging up in our hallway for all to enjoy!
The AMPM happens every second Sunday at Broad and Washington at 10am. Join us next month!
Stakeholders met
Over 40 people from the Broad and Washington congregation turned out to Rod and Gwen’s backyard on Saturday night for a stakeholders meeting. Rod said he was encouraged and energized by the meeting and the peaceful, but intense discussion was amazing.
New song to sing along
Bryce led the Haddon and Fern congregation with a new song he had written, along with Kent and Lizz, based on psalm 30. Nate Hulfish said it was the first new song created by the congregation and he felt moved by it.
Why this pain? Why this pit?
You’ll hear no praises from the dust…
…while I am dust.
I will exalt you –
I will exalt you –
I will exalt you, O LORD
You turned my wailing into dancing
You gave me clothes to wear, and covered me with joy –
My heart will sing and sing and sing to you
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever
Art Shop Garden Fest
Over 50 artists came together at Frankford and Norris on Friday and Saturday to selling their wears and homegrown warm weather crops. The first summer Art Shop was a big success!
Film Screening
On Thursday, Broad and Washington hosted a film screening of Soldiers of Conscience. Over 30 people turned out for the event. The film documented the lives of eight American soldiers, including four who decide not to kill and become conscientious objectors and four who believe in their duty to kill if necessary.
