While Pastor Lowell is away on sabbatical, you are invited to consider a summer sabbath for yourself. Using books purchased with the Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Grant, Pastor Mary Laymon will lead a series of studies on Wayne Muller's "Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives."
“I’m so busy.” Wayne Muller says our relentless emphasis on success and productivity has become a form of violence. We have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between effort and rest, doing and not doing. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance, longing for time with friends and family, longing for a moment to ourselves.
Pastor Mary Laymon and other congregation members will be leading discussions around the Sabbath book at various times. Find details and sign up for a group at www.tinyurl.com/SummerBookStudy26
