Hello church!
Welcome to chapel sabbatical! 🙏

What is a sabbatical? Well, it’s a time of rest — but not in the way we often think of rest. Sabbath rest is not about numbing ourselves with entertainment; binging on Netflix, bad food, and social media. Sabbath rest is ENGAGED REST. It is intentional. It is life-giving. It is contemplative. It is centred on God.

So here are some resources to help you with your Chapel Sabbatical this weekend. I’ve tried to structure them into a mini service. You might like to take some time out, put some headphones in, and use these as a springboard into your rest with God.
