Today we heard two scripture passages that remind us to be relentless in showing gratitude.  And on this Consecration Sunday, we offered up thanks to God for all that God has given us in 2026 and looked forward to 2027.  We also gave thanks for all of you who have faithfully invested in the ministry of this place.  We all know that God’s desire for humanity is a flourishing life of love, compassion, and justice.  This place is an instrument of human flourishing and that’s why we invest in it.  This place is a home for healing and that is why we invest in it.  This place and the people of this community are agents of God’s ridiculous love and that is why we invest in it.  And together Broadway, along with our ministry partners, create enormous social impact as an expression of that faithful, neighbor-centered love.
