SUMMARY:Sabbath Symposium with Carol Bechtel
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Sabbath: A Practical Guide for Christian Sabbath Celebration\nSo\, you’ve decided that Sabbath is an important aspect of your Christian life. Now what? \nIt is not enough just to think about Sabbath. Life-changing learning will only come if thinking is accompanied by living. As Henri Nouwen put it\, “You don’t think your way into a new kind of living; [you] live your way into a new kind of thinking.” \nWith this in mind\, we’ve designed an event that will offer practical suggestions and experiences for Christian “Sabbath seekers.” The focus of our time together will be to help Christians live their way into a deeper experience of Sabbath. Come ready to discover new ways to celebrate God’s beautiful gift of Sabbath! \nThis is a Saturday morning event that will allow time for a light breakfast\, presentation and discussion\, small groups for various arenas of Sabbath practice\, and fellowship. This event will take place at the Parkwood Baptist Church in Annandale\, Va.\, and is co-sponsored by the Rising Day Ministries of the Lord’s Day Alliance and the John Leland Seminary. It is endorsed by the Reformed Institute and highly recommended! \nRSVP FOR THE SABBATH SYMPOSIUM HERE. \n \nDr. Carol Bechtel is Professor of Old Testament at Western Theological Seminary in Michigan.
