Sabbatical Proposal Video

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.
