On Sunday May 28th Broadmeadow will join with Wells Memorial UMC to celebrate Pentecost with a special outdoor service. Service will begin at 10:00 with a fellowship following immediately after!
Pastoral Change
On Sunday, April 30, we announced that Broadmeadow will be receiving a pastoral change. Rev. Linda Fox, currently head pastor of Asbury UMC in Petal has been appointed to Broadmeadow and Leavell Woods beginning July 2.
After 6 years at Broadmeadow, Pastor Lance is going on loan to the Virginia Annual Conference and has been appointed to Asbury UMC in Christiansburg, VA.
Let us be in prayer for everyone as we prepare for this transition.
Easter Sunday
One of the Easter traditions here at Broadmeadow is the annual flowering of the cross on Easter Sunday. Crucifixion was a gruesome and horrific method of execution, reserved only for those the Roman Empire deemed necessary to make an example of. Jesus chose to die this painful and humiliating death, despite his fear and apprehension (Matthew 26:39). He chose to die so that we might live, freed from what separates us from God—and each other. In the same way that this beautiful promise was brought forth out of something so terrible, we flower the cross every year as a reminder of Christ’s resurrection and the triumph of love over darkness. There is a beautiful rebirth for us all: made possible by the cross and Jesus’ sacrifice upon it.
Trans Day of Visibility
Broadmeadow is so proud to be one of the two affirming United Methodist Churches in Mississippi and we were especially proud to represent at Transgender Day of Visibility 2023. All of who you are is welcome here!
2/19 Mardi Gras Service
Continuing our Transfiguration Sunday tradition, Broadmeadow was joined by the Southern Komfort Brass Band for a Mardi Gras service as one last hurrah before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.
First Sunday Fellowship
On the first Sunday of every month, we invite the congregation to fellowship with a lunch together after the service. For November, the Broadmeadow Bunch lunched at the Nick Wallace Cafe before touring the newly opened Marty Stuart exhibit at the Two Mississippi Museums.
Homecoming 2022
We had a great time celebrating Broadmeadow’s Homecoming on October 30th and we just want to say “thank you” to everyone who came! 2022 marks the 72nd year of Broadmeadow as a church and the 72nd year of continuous service to the Jackson community. We’re so grateful to still be here and for the opportunity we have to help Jackson thrive!
