How to Develop Habits for Well-Being
October is Rostered Minister Appreciation month and what better way to show your appreciation for your pastor and/or deacon than to support them in their quest for good physical, mental, and spiritual health? The November 2018 issue of The Parish Paper discusses the importance of good health and how to map out a self-care plan that rostered ministers will carry out and congregations will support.
In the Southern Ohio Synod, we offer many ways our rostered ministers can attend to their physical, mental and spiritual health. Below is a list of just some of the resources available:
- Pastoral Care (and congregational care) provided through Assistant to the Bishop, Pr. Bob Abrams
- Synod Personal Leave of Faith policy
- Bishop's Annual Theological Convocation (March 11, 2019)
- Ohio Tri-synodical Professional Leaders Retreat at Sawmill Creek Resort (January 22-24, 2019)
- Conference and Cluster gatherings (See our Calendar for listings)
- Portico
