Recently, I called a friend to offer some comfort. In one month, she lost her primary job, a cherished romance, and the place where she was living — with plenty of betrayal and unfairness all around.

Last month started and ended with activities inspired by God’s powerful hand which, no doubt, provided us courage to face that ‘naked’ question yesterday!

Watching autumn leaves turn color, then twirl down from the trees, we’re thinking about letting go. Letting go of someone who’s passed on, or a friendship that no longer works, or a job or home or community that’s now behind us. 

Friends, I’d like to share a demonstration I experienced regarding this month’s Spiritual Activities Calendar. Due to multiple reasons, I was not able to work on it until much later than usual.

Here's a quick reminder to join us this Saturday for our Annual Meeting, in person at The Willows or online. We have a rich program with a keynote talk titled "Five Smooth Stones" by Christie Hanzlik, CS.

Greetings! We have the pleasure of beginning this month with a favorite hymn, #51. It declares that we are God’s “noblest work.”

August. Grilling sun. Ripening grain. So ripe that wheat fields literally smell like baking bread. It’s delicious for the senses — but let’s find a deeper take on the season.

August is a month of transition from ‘vacation mode’ to ‘back to school’ and ‘back to work.’ We hope these spiritual activities will assist in making such transitions smooth and joyful for you and the universal community.

On the Fourth of July, I called a friend. “What’s freedom?” I asked. She thought a moment, then told me a story...

Thank you for participating in these spiritual activities with Broadview staff and guests. We feel the connection with you and appreciate the feedback we’ve received about you joining in the prayers and Bible Lesson explorations.
