Are any of you worn out? Do you feel like the pace of your life has become to fast? Are you overwhelmed by responsibilities and TO DO lists and emails and commitments? Maybe you need Sabbath. In his book The Sabbath, Abraham Joshua Heschel describes this ancient, holy day saying:

        “He who wants to enter the holiness of the day must first lay down the profanity of clattering
        commerce, of being yoked to toil.  He must go away from the screech of dissonant days, from the
        nervousness and fury of acquisitiveness and the betrayal in embezzling his own life.  He must say
        farewell to manual work and learn to understand that the world has already been created and will
        survive without the help of man.  Six days a week we wrestle with the world, wringing profit from the
        earth; on the Sabbath we especially care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul.  The world has
        our hands, but our soul belongs to Someone Else.” *

Does your soul crave rest and refreshment?  I invite you to join us this Wednesday night as we examine the fourth commandment to discover what it means for us today to “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” 

The Wednesday Night Bible Study meets each Wednesday in the Capital Café at 7:00pm.  Children and youth ministry provided.
