Dare to Rest

In order to lead our best lives now, this week we focus on the meaning, importance, and role of the Sabbath in our approach to life.  While Jesus walked among us, he modeled for us that rest is part of the unforced rhythm of grace.  We are encouraged to observe a weekly day of worship, rest, & delight, as the Sabbath is defined for us.  In so doing, we are set free to enjoy with wonder, awe, gratitude, and praise all of God’s creations, helping each of us to restore our soul.
