As I prepare for this Sabbatical, it has become clear that to enter into rest, we must make space. We must lay down our burdens and worries at the foot of the cross. Thus, I invite you to do just that on Sunday, June 29th at 8:30 and 10:30, based on the scripture Mathew 11:28-30:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
I encourage you all to find what gives you rest beyond sleep. You might consider Holy Yoga, Walking the Labyrinth, or taking a meditative walk. There will be spiritual tools posted on the bulletin board outside the Welcome Center each week to help you practice resting in God.
A Prayer of Loving Kindness from Pastor Robin.
May you experience God’s love.
May you be safe.
May you belong.
May you find Rest in Christ.
May you be at peace, in Jesus’ name.
Please join me in praying for God’s best blessings as we seek His renewal this summer.
Love,
Pastor Robin+

Websites & Apps
Lectio 365
With the Lectio 365 app you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them. This is a sustainable and life-giving model of spiritual formation and prayer for ordinary people. Jesus and his early followers paused to pray three times a day, and you can join in with this ancient rhythm and pray like Jesus did, with three short prayer times each day, easily accessible on your phone.
Lectio 365 for Families
Lectio for Families is a free devotional for families to do together. It features daily Bible readings, a weekly memory verse, engaging questions to pause and talk about, and prompts for reflection and prayer.
