This quarter we’re looking at “Rest in Christ“
Believing life is like a melting ice-cream we try to devour as much as we can before it’s gone! The result? “Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings,” wrote novelist Jane Austen. However important we may think our busyness is, it can get in the way of discovering true meaning and happiness. We can be so focused on doing we have no time for being. As the sign says, “If you’re too busy to go fishing, you’re too busy.” You may not enjoy fishing, but the thought is the same. If we’re too busy to take time for family and friends, for reflection and relaxation, then we are truly too busy. We do many things to time. We take time. We spend time. We waste time. We lose time. We kill time… In the end it does seem as Job said, “My days pass quicker than a weaver’s shuttle and they come to an end without hope.” (Job 7:6 FBV). Like a shuttle in the hand of the weaver at the loom that flashes from one side to another so quickly it’s almost invisible, our lives race past and we feel that everything’s out of control…
So the real question is how we deal with all of that! This quarter we are looking at “Rest in Christ,” which will look at ways in which we can refocus and reprioritize our lives, so that we can be harmony with the Lord who gives us his fulfilling rest.

Speaking at Sligo Church Sabbath School Teachers’ Meeting:
Some of Dr. Gallagher’s articles and books are available here: articles books
Through a free, conversational study of the Scriptures Dr. Jonathan Gallagher invites you to participate in an exciting analysis and discussion of the Sabbath school lesson in the context of the character of God and in the setting of the Great Controversy
This supportive ministry seeks to make the Sabbath school study a relevant and important part of spiritual life by providing actual class discussions in audio format, accompanied by
study sheets. In this way class members become far more involved in discussing vital spiritual issues,particularly focusing on the nature and character of God in the setting of the Great Controversy. By centering the focus on a ‘free, conversational study of the Scriptures,’ Sabbath School On The Move contributes to both the growth and development of individual members and also a wider and more dynamic involvement in the fundamental message and mission of the church.
Recorded at different locations and also online, Sabbath School On The Move is made available free via the Internet to all, providing a rich resource for those teaching the lesson as well as those wishing to be more deeply informed about the subjects presented by the lesson. It is particularly useful to those who for various reasons are not able to attend Sabbath school in person, and provides a “virtual community” to members who can then experience the sense of belonging and participating in the wider church around the world.
