This morning Wes Hughes preached a message on Sabbath Rest and he concluded by providing 5 specific areas Sojourn will commit to pray for our pastor, Matt, and his family during their one month Sabbatical.
Sabbatical Prayer Guide:
1. Rest and Renewal - Pray for deep rest and rejuvenation as God spirit cares for him/them.
2. Spiritual growth - deepen his love for God, for others and for himself.
3. Protection and guidance - kept safe and guided in his journey, experiencing God in profound ways.
4. Family - time of refreshing, memories and bonding.
5. Re-entry - return with renewed vision, energy, passion and love for God, Sojourn and the community.
In addition to praying these 5 specific ways, we were also challenged to live out the “one-another” we see in Scripture and to all step up and be the church that God has called us to be in their absence.
