"Are you tired?
Worn out?
Weighed down by heaviness?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 5:28-30 (adapted from The Message)
What would it be like to take a deep breath
from all the busy?
We are going to take a deep breath together, and explore how we might let sabbath set us free on a regular basis.
