SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTSabbatical Rest
After 40 years of non-stop ministry (with 20 of those years spent here in Maine), and a long conversation with our Bishop, we have been granted episcopal permission and authority for a long-needed sabbatical. A 'sabbatical' is a term that means time off from all church related activities so that we can seek the Lord's rest and refreshing. The Bishop has also made this an 'indefinite' sabbatical until the Holy Spirit releases us from this time of rest. We have been running on fumes for quite some time, and we really need this break. There will be no scheduled services at Holy Trinity Chapel during this time, but we will, of course, respond to pastoral emergencies. We will also scale back on our Fellowship activities during this time, focusing primarily on the many needful projects that have been neglected or put on hold across the property. Continue to pray for us as we use this time seek the Lord's will on how to be faithful to the original calling we were given for Saint Brendan's when we first moved here (and Holy Trinity Chapel's role in that ministry). We don't want to add to or detract from the Lord's will. We love you all. Rejoice! |
