January 16, 2024 January Opportunities to Discuss “Rest Is Resistance”


Starting on Sunday, Jan 21, Dumbarton kicks off a new worship series based on Tricia Hersey’s manifesto, Rest is Resistance. Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, says that “rest is a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.”

Everyone is encouraged to participate in conversations about the book.

  • On Sunday, Jan. 21, bring your lunch and stay after church for a conversation about the book with Rev. Rachel Cornwell.
  • On Sunday, Jan. 28, our 10 a.m. Adult Ed session will feature a discussion of the book.

Pick up a copy of Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto at your local public library, favorite bookstore, or buy it online. Let’s read–and learn together!
