As we enter November, Holy Covenant’s Year of Wellness journey invites us to pause and rediscover what it means to rest in God. Sabbath is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. This month’s theme, Finding Rest in God, calls us to reclaim stillness as sacred and to honor those who guide us there — our active and retired clergy whose lives and ministries have modeled the holy art of balance, rest, and renewal.
Sabbath reminds us that rest is not idleness but faith — a declaration that God’s grace continues to move even when we stop. When we rest, we remember who we are: beloved, enough, and held in divine care.
In the earliest scriptures, Sabbath was an act of resistance — a refusal to let work, empire, or expectation define our worth. It was God’s way of reminding creation to breathe. In that rhythm of rest and renewal, we find space to heal, to pray, and to be fully present.
This month, we give thanks for those who embody that truth — our clergy, both active and retired. Their dedication and wisdom have shown us that ministry flows not only from doing, but from being. From the pulpit to the bedside, from prayer to presence, they’ve taught us that rest is a sacred calling, too.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Sabbath restores perspective. It teaches us to breathe again — to find holiness not in endless motion, but in divine stillness. Rest is the soil where gratitude, clarity, and joy can take root. It is where our souls remember that we are loved for who we are, not for what we do.
