Sabbath: A Time for Community

Regularly gathering with others on the sabbath allows us to share together the goodness of God’s presence experienced in worship and in common meals. It also helps us to be faithful in our own sabbath observance. Those of us inclined to overwork will be well served by the discipline of regularly scheduled gatherings for worshipping and eating with others. The example of Jesus reminds us that our experiences of regular rest need to include time well spent with others.
