Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

The year was 1729, our mother church--St. Paul's Parish in Hanover sent some missionaries Southwest to begin construction on what was planned to be the largest building in the county. It would be called Slash Church. That was 290 years ago.
290 years later we celebrated that anniversary on September 15, 2019 along with the 177th Homecoming of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) meeting here. What a glorious day in celebration and worship of God who has blessed us continuously these nearly 300 years.
We want to say thank you to Anniversary Committee, Membership Committee, to all the volunteers who participated in the work days, as well as all who brought food and were here for our celebration on Sunday.
 
Here are a few video links of the day.  More videos and photographs will be posted on our website.

At this event we will welcome our new regional minister and explore the theme Partnering with God and Local Congregations, the District Church, the Regional Church, our communities and the world.

The Reconciliation Special Offering is used to fund our Church's mission imperative to become a pro-reconciling and anti-racist church utilizing  experiential education, inclusive worship and intentional dialogue. Our efforts to promote healing, relationship and restoration in the whole family of God are enlivened by funds from this offering. Through it we are able to provide programs for leadership development, curriculum for dialogue and learning, and partnerships within the Church and our communities.
