Minister’s Sabbatical Leave

Dear Brothers and Sisters at the Triangle, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As you all know, I will be taking a period of sabbatical leave beginning in June and returning in August. Sabbatical is a valued part of Methodist ministry, offering an opportunity for rest, renewal, study, prayer, and spiritual refreshment. Ministry is both a privilege and a calling that requires continual attentiveness to God’s voice, and this time away will allow space to deepen that listening and return renewed for the work to which God calls us together.

I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and partnership we share as a church family. It has been a joy to worship, serve, and grow in faith alongside you. During my sabbatical, the life and ministry of the church will continue under the care of our stewards, leadership teams, visiting preachers, and ministerial colleagues, to whom I am very thankful.

Please be assured that pastoral support and worship arrangements have been carefully organised, and details of contacts during this period will be available through my PA, Heather.

As I step back for a season, I encourage you to continue faithfully in worship, prayer, fellowship, and service. The church’s mission does not rest on one person alone; we are all part of the body of Christ, each called to share in God’s work.

I would value your prayers during this time, that it may be fruitful, restorative, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Be assured also of my prayers for you all.

I look forward to returning and continuing our shared journey of faith together in September.

With every blessing,

Robert
