Thanks to the generosity of this wonderful congregation, I will begin a 3 month Sabbatical on Thursday June 18th. During my time away I will be exploring was to refresh and enliven worship and create worship styles that meet the needs of a postmodern world. I will be doing some reading, attending some workshops and visiting congregations that are doing creative, embodied emergent worship.
I am also going to be reviewing several different Spiritual Gift and Ministry Empowerment curricula in the hope of creating material that uses UCC friendly terminology. Lastly I will be exploring ways to develop more small groups within our congregation. It is through such small groups that we come to deepen our faith and grow into the joy that God desires for our lives and our world.
During my time away, I have current plans to be in
And yes, I am also going to rest!!!!!
I look forward to returning on September 12th and being in worship on September 13th fresh renewed and ready to see where God will lead us.
But just because I am away, the life of the congregation will not stop. Rev.
Our great Leadership Team along with Administrator Heidi Rayas and Secretary Pat Mitchell will keep everything else running smoothly.
See you in September!
Namaste
Pastor Nancy
