Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

I hope that if we've learned anything over these last few weeks, we've learned that loving the church isn't about the building. It's not about the programs. It's about relationships - primarily our relationship with God, but also our relationships with one another. But it doesn't stop there. We also need to love those outside of these walls.  During the "I Love the Church" series we have been talking about the characteristics of Jesus' beloved community here at Slash. Today we want to talk about how we expand that community to include others.

En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
