From the U.S. to New Zealand
On the 17th of November, 2018 we boarded a plane with our two boys and six suitcases holding the contents of our life. We had always planned to go back to where Luke’s beginnings were and we had waited eight years to make the move. Full of excitement and hope about what God had in store for us in New Zealand we waved goodbye to our home in the US.

Christ is in action – renovating!
Nowadays, if you drive from University down Broadway, you’ll notice—along with the emptiness of the bars and loneliness of the streets brought on by the holidays and COVID-19—that our dear old campus center is in the process of being more or less torn apart.

Living in Hope
The season of Advent is a season of hope. During Advent we read two sorts of scriptures. We read Old Testament passages which anticipate Jesus’ first coming and we experience the expectation and hope of those former saints. We also read passages which promise Jesus’ second coming. In this way we live with our own hope and expectation when Jesus will come again to fully and finally put all things right. But we celebrate Advent every year because living in hope is not limited to one season, it is to be the tone of our entire lives.

What is Hope?
“Hope” is a word that is commonly used to mean a “wish”: its strength is then invested in the strength of the person’s desire. But in the Bible, hope is something different, something that has a different focus, a focal point that is outside of our individual selves. It reflects a confidence in something other than our own abilities, our own intrinsic worth, our wealth, our power, or our personal giftedness.

90 Years and Counting

My parents, Henry and Lola Whitney, moved from Paris and Leonard, Texas, to Lubbock in 1923. They soon began attending Broadway Church of Christ, then located in a large brick building at Broadway Street and Avenue N.
I came along in 1930 and, of course, was brought to church as a baby.

From Generation to Generation
by Kay Burnam Evans
Some seventy-three years later, it is difficult for me to be sure just what drew my parents to Broadway when our family moved to Lubbock in 1947, but I suspect the fact that they sensed early on the emphasis this particular congregation placed on its own youth, as well as on that of the myriad of young people brought to its doorstep by Texas Technological College, was a major factor.

130 Years of Worship
by Gary Moyers
As someone who oversees worship here at Broadway, I’ve been interested in our history and the story behind it. These occasion of our 150th anniversary seemed an excellent time to dig a little deeper.
As is often the case with history, stories from ages beyond our current lifespan proved hard to come by. The fist mention of worship I could find was in regard to the original settlers of Lubbock and founders of Broadway.

Growing Up at Broadway
by Emily Young Lemley
As my brother said when he was a toddler, “I was born going to that church.” Broadway was my parents’ first ministry, so my first twelve years were spent at the Broadway church. At church I felt totally loved by the whole world (don’t worry, I know better now). But back then, Broadway was my world, and it was known for its magnanimous, open-handed spirit. What a blessed beginning!

Freedom Lost, Appreciation Found
By Kay Evans
By any standard one chooses, sixty-three years is a long time to be married; but, when the final nine weeks of that sixty-third year is spent in isolation with one another, it can seem even longer! In the admonitions given my husband and me by Norvel Young in the hallowed halls of the Broadway church on June 7, 1957,
