Topic: What If We Prioritized Rest?

When I think about prioritizing rest, my head fills with voices parents, mentors, even past employers — and I notice a strong reaction in my body. To help us understand what is happening and why rest is so significant, we will lean into the writings of black authors and activists such as Tricia Hersey, who have identified the theological necessity of rest for individuals and communities.

This service is part of the continuation of the Meaning Making Project from Saskatoon. This year’s overall theme is Roots of ResilienceOctober will focus on Intentional Rest.

Speaker: Reverend Karen Fraser Gitlitz

Service Leader: Rebecca Patterson

Musician: Carrie Day

Techs: Hannah, Brenda Niska-Aro, Bill Lee
