With Gratitude and Blessings: Meredith’s Sabbatical Begins this Sunday!

This Sunday, we joyfully and prayerfully send off Rev. Dr. Meredith Loftis as she begins her much-needed and well-deserved sabbatical. Over the last nine years, Meredith has poured her heart into the life of our church and our city—nurturing faith, leading with compassion, and walking alongside so many in seasons of joy, struggle, and growth. Now, it’s her turn to rest, be renewed, and embrace a season of sabbath.

Meredith and Grayson will spend the summer traveling, resting, and recharging—taking time for deep breaths, quiet reflection, and joyful adventure. We are excited for the new experiences they’ll share and the spiritual renewal that awaits them.

Let us keep Meredith and Grayson in our prayers throughout the coming months. And as they begin this journey, be sure to send them off with hugs, well wishes, and blessings for a restful summer.

We look forward to welcoming Meredith back in the fall with hearts full of gratitude for her faithful service—and stories from a summer well spent.
