An Afternoon of Meals, Mingling, and Money!
On January 22, members of the West Broad Church of Christ were able to meet the needs of several hundred hungry and/or homeless Richmond residents. After our morning worship services, more than sixty (60) members of our church traveled to the Conrad Center Soup Kitchen. The Kitchen has the distinction of being the only regular breakfast and dinner program in the region. This facility served more than 48,000 meals last year as it provided breakfast, bagged lunches, and dinner five days a week. In addition, supper is served on Saturdays and Sundays. West Broad has served customers of the Conrad ...
A Most Notable Quotable
I enjoy quotations. The way a simple, short, phase provides perspective, inspiration, comfort, motivation, and insight is amazing. And think about the return on our invested time. It often takes less than ten seconds to read a quotation.

Toward a New Me in the New Year
We recently enjoyed the second Sunday of a New Year, West Broad and friends. As we think of this great blessing called “life,” what do we really intend to do with the time God has given us?

This bright New Year is given me to live each day with zest; to daily grow and try to be my highest & my best! I have the opportunity once ...
Rethinking the Resolution of Your Resolution
Many Christians will gather for worship on January 1, 2012. Why is this a noteworthy event? Well, an estimated 170,000 people die globally each week. As such, over the course of 2011, more than 8.8 million individuals have left this earthly plane. But because of the grace of God, you and I are still here. What will we do with this blessing? Let’s think about it. Many folks exclaimed “Happy New Year!” during fellowships and celebrations. Why did we say those words? What makes us “happy” in 2012? Is it because we are alive? Because we can hug and appreciate ...
