|| West Broad Provides Housing Help ||
December 30, 2008
The West Broad Church of Christ is a congregation that believes in service that reaches “beyond the four walls” of the church. As such, we were blessed with a wonderful opportunity to reach out to members of our city’s most vulnerable population. On November 15, we assisted in providing housing for CARITAS clients. CARITAS is [...]
|| 2008 Friends’ and Family Day a Great Success ||
December 30, 2008
Members of the West Broad Church of Christ spent several weeks preparing for this year’s Friends’ and Family Day. Members painted, cooked, decorated, sang, served, brought food, provided transportation, cleaned and scrubbed, and attended to the needs of guests. What was the result? On November 23, 125 people (55 of them guests) experienced a bit [...]
|| Endeavoring Toward a December to Remember ||
December 30, 2008
As the year begins to wind down, saints of the West Broad Church of Christ are “winding up” for a month of celebration, connection, and service. We are preaching Christ’s gospel and drinking deeply from the well of his truth. We are reaching out to members and guests through acts of love and service. We [...]
|| The Joy of Following Jesus ||
December 28, 2008
Have you ever observed people as they endeavor to make their way through life? So many have no direction, misplaced values, and a self-originating sense or truth. By God’s grace, we Christians are not like that. We have direction (Prov. 16:9), a goal (1 Pet. 1:9), heaven-ordained values (Col. 3:12-17), and truth that is beyond [...]
|| Connecting for the Holidays . . . and Beyond ||
December 21, 2008
Look around, friends. Here at West Broad, we do not have an attractive, modern church building. We do not have cutting edge music and technology. We do not have the programs promoted in many churches across our land. What do we have? A young adult minister from the University Church of Christ in Denver answers [...]

|| On the Feasibility of Fostering Fellowship ||
December 14, 2008
The Holidays are a time of connection, but we Christians are called to be “connected” throughout the year. As such, West Broad members must feel a sense of solidarity, connection, and affinity toward each other (1 Jn. 4:7; Jn. 13:34-35; Acts 2:42-47). But we must first feel a sense of solidarity, connection, and affinity with [...]

|| Toward a December to Remember ||
December 7, 2008
I was driving the other day and noticed familiar decorations and lights. I heard holiday songs on the radio and saw seasonal shows and commercials on television. Then I thought, in the words of the old song, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. . .” This is truly a wonderful time of year [...]
