Sabbatical...!

This is a period offered by the Church of England to church leaders who have completed 10 or more years of service.

So, Ben has stepped away from his regular church duties, to focus on other things that will develop and enhance his ministry, and allow him time to reflect, pray and seek God in different ways. PLUS, he will have some quality holiday time with the family during August. Sabbath = rest.

The community and church life of St Joe's goes on, and services and activities will continue to take place, many advertised here!

Come and take a look, and see how we are doing without Ben for now - but he'll be back with a bang in September!
