Summer Music Program
Yesterday marked the end of our Chancel Choir’s singing for the season—they will resume singing in the fall. In the meantime, they’ll enjoy some much-deserved respite during the summer months. Thank you, Chancel Choir, and Gary, for a season of music that has been moving, touching, spirit-filled, and Spirit-led. Your gifts and music ministry are part of what makes Broad Street such a special place. We’ll be eager for your return in September, and we’re looking forward to a summer of special music and musicians to fill the void in your stead!
Columbus Pride Events
Central Ohio Reconciling Ministries Pride Festival
Saturday, June 11 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
at Bethel International UMC, 1220 Bethel Road
Broad Street UMC is joining 11 Reconciling churches to celebrate UMC Pride at the 2nd annual Central Ohio Reconciling Ministries Pride Festival. Please join us for a fun-filled day at Bethel International UMC on June 11th from 11-2 p.m. There will be live music, food trucks, vendors, children’s activities, and fellowship. Our own pastors are presenting the worship service to wrap up this wonderful event. Don’t miss it!
We also need volunteers to help out with the following:
Setting up between 9:30-11:00 a.m.
Passing out swag and meeting people at our tent between 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Engaging with children’s activities between 11:00-2:00
Tearing down and cleaning up from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Contact Nancy Taggart or Sue Hughes and we can give you more information on volunteering. We could really use some muscle to get the tent up/down and help us out throughout the day!
Thank you and looking forward to seeing Broad Street family at this event!

Stonewall Columbus
Pride Parade and Festival—The People’s Pride: Pride Belongs to the People
June 18, 2022; Step-off at 10:30 a.m.
This year we are excited to return to an in-person celebration of our PRIDE! There will be Pride-related events all month and during Stonewall Columbus Pride weekend June 17-18, in particular. Similar to Broad Street’s The Year of the People, this year’s theme is “The People’s Pride.” Help celebrate and recognize Columbus’ 41st Pride March by walking with our contingent from Broad Street UMC. You can park at Broad Street and catch a shuttle or walk and meet us at the line-up area (between Rich St and Broad St on High St.) on Saturday morning, June 18th. Nancy’s truck and other RMN vehicles will be in the lineup by 9:00 a.m. and walkers can join anytime. Step-off is at 10:30, but expect to wait an hour or more before we roll—and be prepared rain or shine! Hopefully, we’ll be close to shade and a place to sit while waiting. Walkers that want to shuttle can arrive in the parking lot between 9-10:30 a.m. The parade will start at Broad and High and continue along a 2-mile route to Goodale Park. We will disperse at the end of the parade on High Street and Buttles. Vehicles will continue straight on High, walkers will turn left on Buttles. We will have limited shuttle opportunities at this point, and we could use more drivers to shuttle back and forth, so please let Nancy or Sue know if you need a ride back to the church as soon as you can. The Pride Festival will be at Goodale Park; we hope you plan on attending the fun! Below is the link to Stonewall Pride information and events.
Happy Pride! 🌈
