Session Description

In this session, Mark Buchanan will look at Sabbath-keeping as a gift -"Come, all who are weary"; and as a spiritual discipline - "Abide in me, and you will bear much fruit." The session will especially be aimed at ministry leaders who love what they do but who worry if they can sustain the pace and intensity of their commitment.
