Rev Sarah's Sabbatical

for 91 days
St. Peter's Church, Yaxley
Church Street Yaxley Peterborough, PE7 3LH, United Kingdom
Here are some words from Rev Sarah concerning her forthcoming Sabbatical.........

"Some people have been asking about my sabbatical - every 10 years clergy are entitled to apply for a Sabbatical - up to 12 weeks away from the parish. Ely Diocese say - Extended Ministerial Leave allows space and time for a different type of engagement, it provides space and time to enable growth in leadership and a vocational reflection and it also creates space and time to renew and deepen an individual’s commitment to God.
I will be looking at the subject of Wintering as a season in our church and faith and what God is doing.
There is a lot of secular liturgy on wintering but I have not found much Christian literature around this.
I will be spending time around Durham looking at Northern Saints and will then be going onto Lindisfarne (Holy Island) for 3 weeks. Lindisfarne is a tidal island on the North East Coast.
From there I will be spending time catching up with friends and family and I will finish my sabbatical on retreat in Exeter for 3 weeks where life will be moving into spring.
My first Sunday back with you will be Palm Sunday which is the 29th March and there will be one service that day and we will have our first bring and share lunch of the year. I look forward to hearing what God has been doing in your midst whilst sharing what He has been doing in my life.
Simon is not able to join me for most of this so you will see him at St Peters and he will be preaching and leading at St Peter's but we will have time together during my sabbatical."

Please pray for Sarah while she is away from us, that she may find peace and inspiration!

Safe Spaces is a free and independent support service for anyone who has experienced abuse in relation to the Church of England, the Church in Wales, or the Catholic Church of England and Wales.
