36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On

Ministers and church workers are so dedicated to their ministries that spending time for “loving themselves,” like doing thoughtful planning and taking time on preparing for their futures, is often put on the very back burner. These workshops are a way the Presbytery of San Francisco and the Board of Pensions can strongly encourage you to spend a bit of time on “loving yourselves,” as well.
