The Work of Rest

Preacher: Morgan Aspinwall - August 9, 2026
Scripture: John 5:18
Series: Rhythms of Sabbath and Rest: Toward an Ancient and Timely Practice

Our guest preacher today is Morgan Aspinwall. Sermon text forthcoming.

You can learn more about Morgan in her bio below.


Morgan Aspinwall is the Communications and Financial Administrator for the American Baptist Churches of the Central Region. She also directs the region’s high school camp at White Memorial and is one of the leaders for the region’s 4Ten leadership program. Morgan has a B.A. in Christian Studies from Ottawa University and is currently working towards her M.Div. at Central Seminary.

Morgan is a Ewing Sarcoma cancer survivor and lifelong amputee. She is an advocate for others and works at bringing awareness to areas of everyday life that aren’t accessible or inclusive for those with disabilities. She has an interest in disability theology and helping the church be more accessible and inclusive.

Morgan loves bees, butterflies, and flowers. She spends time kayaking, baking, and playing volleyball with friends, visiting her family in Texas, and watching movies with her 20lb cat, Ferguson.
