Celebrating Sabbath
Celebrating Sabbath, facilitated by various leaders – In the nine lessons of this Bible study—with passages from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, and Acts—we’ll consider Sabbath as a celebration, not a day of dreary formality, as God’s intent for all of creation that includes busy women too, as one day of the week, perhaps a Sunday, as a time to surrender unhealthy striving and frantic busyness, and instead trust that God will provide, as a reminder that life is precious and working too much is against God’s plans for our precious lives, as a day devoted to community and justice and not exclusively to self-care.
Ultimately, Sabbath reminds us to honor God who honors us by giving us a day each week to reset our pace, our priorities, and our lives.
