The Sabbatical Team congratulates Pastor Dee and the COTH congregation in the award of the very prestigious Lilly Foundation National Clergy Renewal Program Grant. This substantial Sabbatical award ($49,353) will fully cover the expenses of Dee’s Sabbatical, including generous financial support for the congregation while Dee is away. If you were not in Worship last Sunday to hear this exciting news in person, you can find more information on the Sabbatical blog: www.www.adventuresforthewildatheart.com. The Sabbatical and Personnel teams invite you to participate in a presentation and congregational pot luck lunch on January 23 for answers to all your questions about the Sabbatical, the Lilly Foundation award, and much more.
