Rest, Reflect, Renew: A Sabbatical Invitation
Dear Friends,
As I prepare to step into my sabbatical, I do so with deep gratitude and excitement. Sabbatical is a sacred gift—a time set apart for renewal, rest, and reflection. This season, I’ve chosen the theme “Live a Great Story,” rooted in the idea that God created humans because God loves a good story. What a beautiful truth: our lives are purposeful and part of a divine narrative. Each of us is a living chapter—complex, courageous, unfinished.
During this first session of sabbatical, I plan to reconnect with my own story—to listen closely for the voice of God in the quiet places, to find joy in adventures, and to remember what it means to be fully alive. I’ll be writing, traveling, spending time with family, and maybe even trying a few new things that stretch and inspire me. My hope is to return in mid-August with a heart refreshed and a soul stirred, ready to rejoin you with new energy and vision. I’ll return on August 18th to prepare for the kick-off to our pro-gram year. In October, for the second block of sabbatical time, I will be planning for Advent, editing my writing and maybe traveling a little more to gather a few more precious great stories.
I invite you to consider your own story during this time. How is God writing through your life right now? What themes are emerging? What might it mean for you to “live a great story” today, in your relationships, your choices, your dreams? Gather up your stories and ponder how the stories you’ve lived shape your life.
I know that CCoL is full of storytellers—people whose lives reflect courage, compassion, and the radical love of Christ. In September, we will have our storytell-ing night and I look forward to hearing your great story and sharing mine.
May we each remember that we are not just part of a story—we are invited to live it boldly. Thank you for giving me the gift of this sabbatical. I carry your prayers with me and look forward to the next chapter we’ll write together.
With you on the Journey,
Rev. Jen
