"For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1
This summer, we’re entering into a sacred rhythm we’re calling Summer Sabbath—a time to embrace intentional rest, personal reflection, and deeper prayer as a church body. In the midst of a busy world and a season of transition for our church, we sense the Spirit inviting us to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen more attentively to the voice of God. Just as the Sabbath was given for our good, so too is this opportunity—a holy pause—to renew our strength, remember who we are, and realign with God’s purposes.
Our church calendar will reflect this shift with a lighter activity schedule—not out of idleness, but out of intentional space-making. We encourage you to use this time to lean into prayer, study Scripture, engage with your family and neighbors, and simply be with God. This isn’t a break from being the Church; it’s an invitation to be the Church in a quieter, deeper way. May this Summer Sabbath prepare our hearts for the next chapter of what God is doing among us.
