The Path: A Study in Proverbs

Proverbs 15:22

Getting Help Along the Way

Our sermon series “The Path” offers us a very simple formula for getting from where we are to where we want to be in life. We are learning that our Direction determines our destination. So far, we’ve learned that life is a series of mid-course corrections, that when we see danger, it wouldn’t be prudent to ignore it. We want to take refuge and avoid the danger. We’ve learned that one of the most common mistakes in determining which fork to take is trusting our hearts, because our hearts often lie to us. This Sunday we will learn an essential lesson for success along the path. The lesson has to do with figuring out what you don’t know and how to get advice on the path.

Rev. Michael Weeks

We will be offering a Pastor’s class for elementary aged kids to explore Baptism and Membership in the church. We will be teaching the Core Values of the Christian Faith and helping kids on the path toward making a decision and dedicating their lives to Jesus. Please let Rev. Michael know if you have a child that would like to attend. Classes will start soon.

We will be offering a gathering soon for seekers and visitors to Slash who are considering membership. The class is called “Learn About Slash” and will likely meet on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. Topics covered: our core values, how the Slash community works, our ministry teams and information about the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Please contact Rev. Michael soon if you are interested.

Church on the Hill UPDATE:

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

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.

SLASH SIX-WEEK BROWN BAG LENT BIBLE STUDY WILL MEET SUNDAY from 5 – 7 pm starting February 18

We will share a meal (bring your own) around the table and then dig into this new book from Rev. Adam Hamilton. We will plan to meet for 6 weeks from Feb. 18—March 24 each week during Lent concluding on Palm Sunday.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK (From Cokesbury)

Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. People just like us. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. People just like us. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Maybe they were not all just like us. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God’s kingdom to those who most needed to hear it.

In Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws, pastor and bestselling author Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus’ concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today.
