R.E.S.T.

Practicing Sabbatical
In Ministry
(affectionately known as 'Sabbatical in a Bag')

a community of people called to ministry who are listening beneath the noise in their lives

Join Bonita Rose and Oasis Ministries for a series of gatherings that invite all people actively engaged in ministry (whatever the form or capacity) for a chance to REST:

Restoration

Experience

Sabbath

Transformation

"Be still and know that I am God"
Psalm 46:10

As people gather together to find renewal of passion and purpose,  we will be building a network of trust and support, peer groups of safe, sacred space.

If I am able to get the REST I need, that reaches the core of who I am,
then I am able to
minister more effectively
reach more effectively
teach more effectively

~ Rev. Marilyn Gerald

“bring the ultimate sacrifice of
your true self”

~ Rev. Bonita Rose
