Pastor Jason’s Sabbatical
In accordance with the Nazarene Manual and local church policy, Pastor Jason will be on sabbatical from Sept. 1-Oct. 31. During this time, Pastor Jason will be engaged in professional development, spiritual renewal, rest, & writing. Dr. Mike Palmer, our former District Superintendent, will be preaching and tending to Pastor Jason’s normal responsibilities. In order to maximize the purpose and desired benefits of the sabbatical, Pastor Jason is required to take a complete break from all Harvester related activities, including responding to emails, phone calls, texts, and addressing any emergencies that may arise, such as hospital visits or funerals. If an emergency occurs while Pastor Jason is on sabbatical, please contact the church office and Dr. Mike will work with our staff and local church board to faithfully address the need.
