"Six days a week we wrestle with the world, wringing profit from the earth; on the Sabbath we especially care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul. The world has our hands, but our soul belongs to Someone Else."
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Do you know how to rest?
When God created the world, he worked for six days and then rested on the seventh day.
This rhythm of work and rest has existed from the beginning of time. What if we entered into God’s rhythm of rest and renewal?
What if we rested well, and set aside time to enjoy his good gifts to us?
This is what the Sabbath is all about. Below are some resources to help you discover what Sabbath looks like for you and your household.
