Pastor's Sabbatical

I remember as a child hearing the priests talk of taking a Sabbatical. Seems they always went to Rome and during the Sabbatical, a car dealer in town would give them a new car. Well, Pastor Sandy will not be enroute to Rome and the new car...who knows! Any lottery winners out there?

I encourage each and every one of you to keep Pastor in prayer during this time. This is a time of rest, study and rebuilding for her. If you were at "Send off Sunday" today, you know she asked the Lord to direct her time. That is something I feel all people should do. We live in a hectic world and hundreds of distractions can cross our path on a daily basis. Let us also keep in prayer all the people that Pastor Sandy has entrusted with duties in her absence. This can also be a time when we can reach out and help each other. Let us also ask the Lord to direct our steps, words and actions. Let us all be stronger when our Pastor, our friend returns.
God bless you, Sandy
