Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

All Saints Day is a day when we take a moment here at Slash Church to remember those who have left this earthly life and gone on to the next life in heaven. We remember those who touched us, taught us, loved us, and especially those who showed us their love for God and neighbor. Today causes me to stop and give thanks for Christian friends who shared life with me, shared their faith, shared their doubts, shared their joys with me; and as I think of them I am so grateful, so thankful to God for each one.

En Agape',
Rev. Michael

Poinsettias for Advent
poinsettia

We will be decorating the sanctuary with Poinsettias for Advent. The plants have been grown by the horticulture students at Patrick Henry High School in their greenhouse. Order forms are on the back table or you may call the office to place an order (798-4520).  Cost is $8 per plant. Forms and payment are due 11/19. Please place them in the offering or submit them to the office. Poinsettias may be taken home on Christmas Eve! 

 

Outreach Opportunities

Spread the warmth by joining us to help families sleep tight as
CARITAS prepares to serve families during the colder months. 
Donate new or gently used Blankets, Pillows and Sheet Sets. 
There is a box in the hall of the Educational Building to accept donations through December 10th.  Contact Steve Harrison for more information.

Teachers and Members :  It is time to mail our old Sunday School materials to Edwin L. Hodges Ministries in Alabama.  They in turn ship them to third world countries and use them for teaching and training pastors and lay people. They ask for Christian materials, books, DVD's CD's, as long as they are in good condition.  They especially need bibles.  Please bring all materials to the Loving Building (room with the piano) by 12-1-17.  If you have any questions please contact Betty Sue Martin.  
 

The "Knitters" have been hard at work knitting hats for our Hanover Christmas Mother.  The hats along with pairs of gloves, will be shared with those in need this winter.  Glove donations may be placed in the boxes in the Loving and Educational buildings until November 12th.  We need lots of gloves!  If you have any questions, please contact Betty Sue on 804-798-4553 or June Chappell on 804-730-1418.  Thanks again!
