Sabbaticals encourage well-cared-for pastors and other leaders of the church. During the sabbatical, the leader can reconnect with God through education, diverse worship styles, and their prayer life. A cared-for leader is encouraging to members of their congregation and communities. We will highlight some suggestions for creating a sabbatical policy within congregations and information available through the ELCA and NI Synod websites.
The workshop is presented by Ms. Marianne Barstow, member of the Ministry Support Committee.
