Your March News & Updates 


Lent 2019

Do you love Jesus? I would not be surprised if every single person reading this said yes. Would you like to learn to love like Jesus? As disciples of Jesus that is what we should be all about. Our daily lives should demonstrate how we share his love. Our actions should be filled with the love of Jesus. All the choices we make in life are because we love like Jesus.

Slash worship will be all about Loving Like Jesus leading up to the 2019 celebration of Jesus' greatest act of love, when he gave his life for you and for all of us on Easter. If you want to be part of Jesus' movement to change the world follow the path to worship at Slash Church, Sunday at 8:45 or 11 am.

En Agape',
Michael
