Making Time for Sabbath

Worship Leader: Rev. Dr. Marlene R. Walker

Worship Associate: Joan Staples

Our lives, and those of our children, keep getting busier and busier. Our schedules get more and more complicated instead of simpler, even with Palm Pilots and such to help us keep track of them. Is there a way out of this ever increasing cycle of activity and business? What about the notion of a day of Sabbath? Of rest? Of just being together? We will explore ways to slow life down a bit and perhaps get to know each other and ourselves more deeply in the process.
