Our Sabbatical Journey

In keeping with the themes of pilgrimage and racial reconciliation, we will host a number of guest preachers through the fall.

The fall adult forum resumes on September 17 with a review of the purposes of sabbatical, and Anne’s sabbatical themes in particular, and how that affects the parish formation (and other) opportunities (e.g., the adult forum schedule and preaching), including an overview of the full fall forum schedule.  We will have a guest speaker, labyrinth walks, and a parish retreat (on September 30) focusing on the theme of pilgrimage, and later a number of guest speakers focusing on various aspects of race relations and reconciliation. 

There will be a parish retreat at Sandy Bottom Nature Center on Saturday, September 30 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (childcare will be provided at the facility).  Again, in keeping with Anne’s sabbatical theme of pilgrimage, we will welcome retreat leader the Rev. Dale Custer who will guide us through Setting Our Heart on the Pilgrim’s Way.
