Pastor’s Corner – Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day reminds us how much of life is spent working. Whether it’s at a job, at home, or just trying to make ends meet, we all know what it feels like to be tired. Sometimes it seems like life itself is one long shift that never ends.
In fact, many of us come here to the Bark Park for more than just a place to walk our dog. It’s a place of peace and community after a day of work.
Think about this: God cares about your work, and He also cares about your rest. Jesus once said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). That’s more than just a nap—it’s a deep peace for your soul.
This weekend as you take a break, remember: your worth is not measured by how many hours you put in or how much you produce. You are loved by the One who made you. He offers not only strength for today but also rest that lasts forever.
Happy Labor Day weekend. May you find both strength for the work ahead and true rest for your soul.
