SABBATH RESOURCES
We’ve assembled some our free resources to help launch “Lent 2010: Receive the Gift of Sabbath.” From Ash Wednesday (February 17th) to Easter (April 4th), as a community we are being invited to slow down during this season by corporately keeping Sabbath. We have plenty of resources available for you, so please take advantage of them.
Our prayer is that God would refresh you as you stop, rest, delight and contemplate.

| Silence: Waiting on God
4 audio files to help you practice Silence. Each mp3 has 5, 10, 15, or 20 min of silence bookmarked by 1 minute of instrumental music. The hope is that it will be a resource that will help you spend time in silence without feeling the need to check your watch. |
