Why Abide?

What is Abiding?

Jesus tells us in John 15 that abiding in him is the best way to bear fruit. As we strive to be disciples of Jesus, we want to follow his example of regular times of rest and time abiding in God’s presence.

July is Abiding Month at Sheridan.

This means a minimum scheduling of programming and meetings so staff and volunteers can use time to abide in Christ for rest and renewal. Abiding gives us concentrated time receiving power and strength from the Father, renewing our call in this world. Worship, both corporate and individual, is a priority during this time as is time in prayer and in God’s Word.

We encourage everyone to be intentional in renewing your soul and spirit during July. We start again from this place of rest, and return with renewed creativity and energy for God’s work at Sheridan and in the community.
