Sabbath Space

We are inviting you to have an intentional time of sabbath rest one time each month.  This time can be flexible with your own schedule.  We will continue to offer guided resources for spiritual activities and disciplines online.  There will also be a video of a guided Examen reflection posted each month on the Northern Illinois Synod website.  You may use these resources at your discretion. All resources can be found at www.nisynod.org/sabbathspace.

This year, we are providing an onsite option for Sabbath Space quarterly. These will be hosted at three different locations throughout the Synod:

• St. John’s, Mendota  
• Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center (LOMC), Oregon
• Christ Lutheran, Belvidere 

Each location will have a host who will ensure the space is prepared for Sabbath Space.  The host will also help connect those gathered to other locations via Zoom for the opening Examen practice.

The quarterly onsite gatherings will take place on the following dates beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 12:30 p.m.
