Reframing Rest:
Sabbath Pauses for Women Clergy
God has given Sabbath rest to God's people. For women in ministry, however, even a moment away from the activity can feel unattainable, and so we need a different pathway to this coveted and required rest. God as our mother invites us into this space of refreshment and joy, helping us to reclaim Sabbath in a way that understands our needs and ministers to our souls.

PURPOSE
What do you love to do?
What are you great at doing?
What do you feel the world needs?
And what you do you get paid to do?
The intersection of all of this
is the
sweet spot of purpose!

Sabbath by the Pool is a continuing education event for women in ministry.
Priority registration for women in the Synod of South Atlantic until June 30th. After July 1st, the event will be open to women in ministry across the country. (Space is limited)
Register and pay for Sabbath by the Pool here.
Make your payment on the SSA website, using the Events Payment tab. Please put "Sabbath by the Pool" in the memo.
We have a hotel block reserved at a Hampton Inn close to the event site. Reserve your room here.
Please reach me at Susan@diakonossolutions.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Sabbath by the Pool is intentionally short, either driving in for the day or spending one night.
It's hard to coordinate all-the-things with family and ministry to take a break. By making it one day, we hope you can find 24 hours to escape for Sabbath renewal.
Lunch is provided on August 5th.
There will be snacks provided on August 4th (evening) and throughout the day on August 5th.
When Valerie asks what your favorite drinks and snacks are, she is serious. You will find your requests in the cooler and as part of the snack selections.
We want this day to feel special!
This is YOUR day- you choose how you want to spend it! Participate in what you want to do and determine your own schedule for the day. (See the schedule above for activities and times.)
The Synod of South Atlantic is making 3 scholarships available to cover the $150 registration fee. Contact Valerie for more information, valerie@synodsa.org.
NO! Wear what you will be comfortable in to laugh with new friends and old ones by the pool for the day.
Registration opens for PCUSA women in ministry outside of the SSA on 7/01!
You may also contact Susan at susan@diakonossolutions.com to be put on a wait list and she will email you on 7/01.
