Thirty
years ago this summer, I packed up my bags and headed off to my
first ministry experience: a
student internship charge in Pierceland, Saskatchewan.
Thirty years is a long time to stay in the same line of work.
Although I had a long stretch of part time ministry while I
was raising my kids, for almost every Sunday (except vacation time)
for these past three decades, I’ve been in a pulpit, somewhere.
And
now I am going to step back and take a breather:
from May 1 until August 30, I’ll be off on leave, combining
a three month sabbatical and a one month vacation.
During my absence, Rev. George Schmidt and Adam Kilner will
be teaming up to provide coverage leading worship and providing
pastoral care.
My
husband, Paul Miller, will also be taking sabbatical leave from his
ministry at First Grantham United Church in St. Catharines.
In May and August, we will read, refresh and renew. For
June and July, we will travel together, visiting churches and
cribbing good ideas along the way.
