Chai is at his perch, on alert for the flock. He is not taking a break—but Pastor Becca is 😊

I (Becca) am coming down from my perch and shifting into my sheep-ness for June, July, and August as I begin sabbatical/renewal leave.

So far (and it hasn't even started yet), the hardest part has been hearing from a few of you about staying in touch over the summer. It is such a gift that our relationships at Grace have real meaning. I’m more grateful than I can say.

At the same time, I want to fully receive this gift for what it is. That means stepping all the way back to truly rest. So I won’t be in personal contact or available for ministry during these months—not because the connection doesn’t matter, but because it does. Healthy time away makes for a healthy community, and our shared work for God’s kingdom depends on that.

Even before this sabbatical has officially begun, part of its gift is this pointed awareness I'm experiencing of the blessing of belonging in/ to/ with this congregation. Already, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.

I will miss you, Grace, even as I embrace this time away. I’m praying with and for you, and I look forward to seeing you in August.

Peace,
Pastor Becca
