ASHFORD MEMORIAL
METHODIST CHURCH​
PASTOR'S ARTICLE
My heart is overflowing with gratitude as I return from sabbatical and ramp back into all of the rhythms of church life. Several have asked me to describe the impact the trip and time off has made, and I honestly am still processing all of it.
However, I want to say how thankful I am for our staff and leaders that kept all of the ministries going, with excellence in my absence. I am not at all surprised but I am incredibly proud of what our team did. God’s ministry thrived this summer, and I am glad this sabbatical gave them a chance to demonstrate just how capable they are. Way to go!
For me, while it was a blessing to take a knee from preaching, teaching, and leading, the primary benefit was without a doubt the uninterrupted time with family. We saw beautiful places together, ate amazing food, laughed, and spent quality time for an extended period of time. I highly recommend it.
Thank you to the Lord and to a wonderfully supportive congregation for blessing us with a summer we will cherish and never forget.
Pastor Robert
