Throughout June and July, as we return to in-person worship and begin new rhythms for life after quarantine, the NDPC community will focus on “re-booting” our basic operating system for the Christian life: worship and prayer and storytelling and hospitality and justice and wonder and forgiveness.
This Sunday, we talk about the importance of sabbath-keeping. In many ways, the last year and a half has felt like a kind of sabbath. It certainly was a break from the “usual.” But maybe a confined, enforced sabbath is not really “sabbath” at all. We will revisit the biblical concept of sabbath-keeping and explore why this particular form of rest is not just a divine “suggestion,” but a mandate for you and for the whole creation.
