Pastoral Sabbatical
May 1 - August 31, 2012
The staff, leaders, and members of Christ Church are excited about investing in the health and mission of Christ Church by investing in the health and mission of Bart and Katie Garrett, our Lead Pastor and Director of Christ Church Kids. As of this summer, the Garretts will have served Christ Church for seven years and will have served in pastoral ministry for eleven years with no extended rest. Thus, we invite the Christ Church community to join us in praying for Bart and Katie and their children - Caroline, Clair, and Cammie - through this season of preparation for their sabbatical as well as during the sabbatical itself. We would especially encourage you to take a moment to read through the following resources which will guide you through how you can pray, serve, and adjust your expectations in ways that will make this a wonderful experience for our church. Thank you!
