This is a public thank you to The Way Church located in the southwest part of Springfield on the corner of Broadway and Katella. We have the privilege of calling it our home! Pastor Seth the rest of his staff and the members of this church have welcomed our organization with open arms as a place to have our quarterly membership meetings.
They have allowed us to host bazaars, enjoy summer ice cream on the grounds, hunt for Easter eggs, use their kitchen, setting it up for families to get to meet and greet police and fire personnel at sponsored events up close and personal! Not only do we use their building the pastors help “set up” for Mann Market Day when the children from Horace Mann come across the field by grades and spend their well-earned Mann Bucks. The church also helps on those days with volunteers to help run the popup store and contribute items as do members of GPNA.
I am not sure where a lot of the other organizations meet. I do know the Delaware Association meets at Westminster Presbyterian where I am a member. Very grateful.
I close this article with this assurance that growing up in a small town in Kansas the church on the corner of Broadway and Katella could have just as easily been my growing up church – always welcoming. Thank you to The Way.
