Beloved, observe a Holy Lent:
Loose the bonds of injustice,
Break the yoke of oppression,
Feed the hungry, Shelter the poor.
God your protector
shall go before you,
and the glory of the Lord
shall be your guard.

Take the weekend to rest how you see fit. Remember, as the Nap Ministry reminds us, rest is an act of resistance and revolution. Take the time to visit another church, take a morning hike, brunch with friends, or even sleep in. Recharge yourself.
See you all again Sunday, Sept 8!
