SABBATH SUNDAY @INVITATION: JANUARY 28TH!
SABBATH SUNDAY
Hey, young readers! Welcome to your very own Sabbath Sunday journal, where you can learn a little bit about God’s gift of rest!
This is a special book where you can write down your thoughts, draw pictures, and reflect back on 2023! We hope you enjoy it! We encourage you to share your work with an adult who lives with you!
Happy Sabbath Sunday!
SABBATH SUNDAY
In a world that worships busyness, productivity, and movement, God's gift of rest stands out as a precious and often overlooked blessing. The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of rest, and in the book of Matthew, Jesus himself invites us to find rest in Him: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
We are pausing this weekend to embrace this gift of rest as a community. We will not host our weekly worship gathering, but we hope that you will take some time to work through this journal that we have put together for you to reflect on 2023 and lean into 2024.
We believe embracing God's gift of rest is essential for our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. In Genesis 2:2- 3, God reminds us of his example of resting on the seventh day after creating the world, setting a precedent for us to follow. It's a time to restore our bodies, rejuvenate our spirits, and rekindle our connections with God and others.
Download and share this guide with someone as you invite them to step into the rest the Lord so graciously offers.
See you next Sunday, February 4th for BAPTISM Sunday!
