From Sunday:

IMAGINATION. We all have one. Do you sometimes imagine a better world where all are safe, with a place to live, food to eat and work for you to accomplish and enough resources to take care of your family? I wish that was true for all the people in the world.  But there are many places where that is not the case. There are places where disaster has come and places where war and famine make food and housing security impossible.
Today our worship focuses on Ephesians 3:20 and what God imagines for our world. Can we join our imaginations to God's and change the world?
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks

We thank everyone for your prayers, support, cards and generosity  as we celebrated MaryLee's life. The memorial contribution in her name to the American Heart Association touched our hearts.
Our Slash Christian Church family reinforced what I've long known -  it is a very special family.
Love, Ted, Mary Lynn, Paul, Tamika and Patricia
 

The family of Norma Jennings would like to thank you for the plant and all the love and kindness you shared with us in our time of sorrow. It is a blessing to have a family in Slash.
Love, Debbie and Ron and Margaret

OFFERINGS MADE BY CHECK

Thank you for your continued generous support of Slash Church. Please know that when you are writing a check for your offering, you may write one check to cover mulitple offerings or multiple weeks.
For multiple weeks you may simply write offering on the memo line.
If you are including a memorial gift or donation for a special cause (book study, flowers, special projects, etc.), please list the amount for each offering on the front of the offering envelope, on the memo line of the check or on a separate note. 
This practice is much easier for the counters and it saves you checks!
