Worship at Slash Church

From Sunday - 10:00 a.m.

Established in the Love of God:

John 10:10-29

Hearing from God

If you and I are going to be rooted and established in the love of God, we’re going to have to learn how to listen to God. We’re going to have to learn how to hear God’s voice. In our day and time, if you pray, you’re spiritual. If you talk to God, you’re spiritual. Those are good things, but they are not actually hearing God. We talk about how to tune into God’s voice on Sunday in worship.

Splinters from the Board

Chad Baugher, Moderator

Church on the Hill

We are excited that work is nearing completion. We are awaiting the doors and some painting.

Century Construction is the church's liaison to all of the contractors.

Leslie West is the church's liaison to Century Construction.

Please contact Leslie with any questions or concerns and she will pass them on to the contractor. Email or text is preferred at leslie@wwnash.com or 804-307-3282. With safety as a top priority, the area is a work zone so contractors and their employees should be the only persons in the area. Century has requested one point of contact for all communications. Any conversation with Century must be handled by Leslie West.

Next Board Meeting:

May 19, 2024, 11 a.m.

In His Love,

Chad Baugher, Moderator
