October
In October, we will focus on “Slowing Down, Sabbath, and Restfulness” in scripture. We will draw on passages that help us reflect on themes sabbath, stillness, and solitude. At a time where we find the need to slow down in the context of physical distancing and quarantining, what tools can God give us through scripture?
