We now have a nominee for one of the two young-families
ministers we are looking for!
On Monday night, the Board of Elders unanimously endorsed
the recommendation of the search committee. The nominee is
Megan Stewart, known to Stillwood campers as Skittles. She
has worked at Stillwood for nine summers and has already
started the planning tasks for her tenth summer there. She
is finishing a degree at Columbia Bible College and has
worked both as an intern and as a volunteer in children’s
and youth ministries at her church, Bakerview in
Abbotsford.
Now that she has been nominated, she will be introduced to
Broadway kids, parents and church members as quickly as
possible.
Megan will be meeting this week with Children’s and Youth
Ministry deacons. And she’ll come to Broadway next
Tuesday, the 20th, at 7 PM to meet with parents and young
people. Megan also says she can be present for most of our
camp weekend, so she can meet more of the Broadway family.
June 1st has been tentatively set for her to give her
testimony, and a congregational vote would follow on that
day.

The registration has now closed off for the Men’s Working
Retreat at the Pines Camp in the West Kootenay at the end
of May. Eight people have signed up. Pastor Gary
initiated the first working camp weekend last year, when a
hardy band of Broadway men went to the newest BC MB camp at
Likely, in the Cariboo, and did some awesome building. So
the Pines venture will be the “second annual...” If you
forgot to register and still wish to do so, call the church
office by Friday.

Broadway’s Missions Month wraps up this Sunday with the
Sanchez family present in our service. The Sanchezes were
in the first MBMSI team to go to Thailand and it will be
good to hear what is happening in this challenging field.
There is a second MBMSI group in the country now, down in
the Phuket area, and Broadway’s Cynthia Friesen is working
on that team.

We continue to be in search mode for office administration
coverage for approximately 6 weeks, from mid-June to the
end of July. If you are interested in this opportunity to
earn a little extra summer spending money or would like
more details, please call the church office or email Joanne
at office@lifeatbroadway.com.
