from Pastor Linda...

 


Have you taken a vacation this summer? Jesus did ... how about you?

Resting, taking Sabbath time is hard for most of us. We more easily heed God's call to get busy: to work, to serve, to coach, to teach, to feed, to visit, to sing, than to rest. Yet, Jesus taught that we need to balance doing with renewing.
