Created to Be A Steward

2022 Ministry Plan for Slash Christian Church

Answer this question and one can unlock one of the most important aspects of Jesus ministry on earth. What motivates your giving spirit?

The truth is that God created you with a giving spirit. That spirit is in your DNA. To be created in the image of God brings with it a love for grace and generosity.

If “God so loved the world . . . that God gave” (John 3:16),

then we, too, are designed to be givers.

Everyone at Slash Church is generous with their time and talents as we grow together in faith and service. The question we will answer this year as we plan our 2022 ministries is, how can we grow in generosity? Generosity is that part of discipleship that we refer to as stewardship. It involves the use of financial resources, ways of spending time, commitment to relationships, care of the earth, and the development of abilities and talents to help build the Kingdom on earth. 

Jesus taught that “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Jesus invites his followers to invest in a vision of love and compassion that transforms the world. While we think that we naturally will spend money and time and energy in a way that follows the heart, we often succumb to the world's values instead of what God and our hearts value. Here at Slash we have ministries that allow us to follow our hearts and show what we value the most.

What Slash ministries do you value most?

• local ministries to the hungry
• children's ministries like VBS or Sunday School
• disaster response
• missionary work spreading the Gospel
• youth ministry and mission projects to underserved communities
• communication spreading the Gospel
• preaching and Bible study
• teaching and learning

We provide for all these ministries and many more.

Will you grow your generosity and give from the heart?

2022 Covenant Cards will be available in the Pew Pockets on Sunday, October 10th.

Click here to print one at home.

Please return your cards on or before November 7.

You were created in the image of God and therefore you were Created to Be A Steward. You give because God created you and gave you the fruit of the spirit of generosity which invites you to share in the work of transforming the values of this world. 

En Agape',

Rev. Michael

Please Add the Pastor's Class to Your Prayer List

We are excited to report that our class of young disciples has already begun meeting on Tuesdays with Rev. Michael to discuss baptism and their confession of faith. They will be meeting throughout October. Elder mentors will be accompanying them as they prepare to dedicate their lives to God.

Splinters from the Board

David Bremner, Moderator

Next Meeting:

November 14, 2021; 7:00 p.m.

The Campaign on the Hill Team is glad to report that the Century Construction firm has presented most of the labor estimates and material quotes. The Team plans to present a general dollar figure to the Board first, and then to the congregation for everyone’s blessing to commit by contract with Century Construction. Century will collaborate with subcontractors for their project commitments and coordination of work schedules for the restoration of the exterior and the needed electrical upgrades.

Construction is expected to begin around April 1, 2022. 

Thank you for your patience and keep praying for the successful completion of this project. Any questions or concerns, please communicate with the team, church office and/or Dave Bremner. Team members are Mark Highfield, Reggie Martin, Leslie West, Keith Dalton, Michael Weeks and myself.

Also, the Nominating Team is hoping for some good bold ready “yes!” replies from everyone to help the church body keep moving forward and well organized for our upcoming year.

Please keep in mind that Fall campus cleaning and leaf removal is just around the calendar corner for all.

In His Love,

Dave Bremner, Moderator
