This resource was created by Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
* For the purpose of time invested into ministry and time off for rest and family, the pastors split the each day into 3 Rest & Rejuvenation modules (morning, afternoon, & evening) or 21 modules a week. They have pledged to take off 7-10 R&R modules a week, and to take off 3 of these modules consecutively (to fulfill a Sabbath principle). Most pastors take their Sabbath on Fridays, and choose 4-7 other modules a week to take off.
For the full explanation, see the Employee Handbook, section 2.50 on Office Hours, Work Schedules, and Locations, available under Resources.
