Work & Rest
In late June, Pastor Dara Schuller-Hanson embarked on her first sabbatical, a time where she’ll be able to rest and enrich her relationship with God. Sabbatical is a response to God’s creation, taking a pause, and taking time to be with God. During her six weeks of rest, Pastor Dara will be spending time with her family, studying, and traveling to California for a week-long continuing education workshop at California Lutheran University and the Upper Peninsula for a solo camping trip, where she’ll be able to commune with nature and be in God’s beautiful creation.
