Worship at Broadway seeks to combine the richest aspects of tradition and an openness to God's call to us today in our place and in our time. Active lay involvement in worship leadership adds informality and diversity to our structured liturgical life. At Broadway worship is truly "the work of the people."

Following the Stations of the Cross that Jesus walked, we pick up the cross and carry it through our Southeast side neighborhood stopping at sites of both hope and despair. In this way we remind ourselves that Jesus' passion is alive in our world and that the resurrection continues to surprise and bless us even in the midst of broken glass, unrepaired sidewalks, and deteriorating housing. The 2009 Walk was filmed by UMTV. Click Here to view the video
