Summer is one of our busiest times of year at Sojourn. It is for this reason that once a year, we are committed to practicing rest as a church family by breaking from our usual rhythms. This is an opportunity for us to spend a day resting alongside our community, whether that looks like spending the day hiking, setting aside time to fast and pray, or encouraging one another over brunch. However you choose to spend the Day of Rest, we hope it’s a gift that cultivates intimacy with Jesus and his church in a new and refreshing way. For ideas on how to spend this day resting with others in our church family, see the resources below.
*On Sunday, September 1st we will not gather for our regular gathering time, our normal scheduled gathering will resume on Sunday, September 8th.
