Sabbatical
Sabbatical Plan for Pastor Dan Bodin
This summer, Pastor Dan Bodin will be taking a Pastoral Sabbatical, as approved by the congregation. His sabbatical is planned for June 8- Sept 8, 2024.
While on Sabbatical, Pastor Dan (and his family) will be focused a number of different things:
Intentional rest and rejuvenation
Working toward his family growing into his sabbatical theme “My Home A Lighthouse”
Adapting a family Bible verse “Matthew 5:14-16”
Renting an RV, taking a family trip around the Great Lakes, visiting lighthouses
Developing his skill of writing devotions, using things he and his family learn visiting lighthouses, reflecting on when scripture talks about God’s Light
Reading books and listening to a podcast, focused on “leading from the second chair”
Intentional “couple’s retreat” to strengthen his marriage
The estimated cost to do all these things is around $15,000. The Sabbatical Fundraising Committee encourages you to donate towards this goal of $15,000. Any extra money received will go into the fund for future sabbaticals.
