This month’s Minister’s Seminar: Explore an ancient and timely spiritual practice, keeping a weekly sabbath. This practice involves setting one day apart each week to step back from worldly things and let the fields of our outer lives lie fallow that our inner selves may be restored. This feels like a good time for new practices that restore us. Join Rev. Dave for an exploration of this practice and become part of a group that will experiment with it and share experiences over the coming months. Register here.
