Ideas for Sabbath

“Stopping weekly creates space to refuel.”

Enlarge your view of God
Get a good devotional you read only on your Sabbath
Go to the zoo and marvel at God's creativity
Spend extra time with God, reading the Bible or praying
Meditate on or memorize a Bible verse
Sit still and mull over how awesome God is
Listen attentively to worship music

Reflect on your life
Journal about what God is teaching you
Read that book you've been wanting to read for a long time
Create or revisit your life goals
Do a jigsaw puzzle while you think about life

Exercise your body
Walk the dog
Go for a bike ride
Go for a hike and fill your senses with God's creation
Have a water gun fight
Take a nap

Invest in your Relationships
Call someone you haven't talked to in a while
Fly a kite
Draw pictures with sidewalk chalk
Play Capture the Flag
Run through the sprinkler
Stargaze
Find animals in the clouds
Go camping – get away from your routine and immerse yourself in God's nature
Take a walk downtown and get ice cream at the end
Write a letter to a long-distance friend


Careful! It would be easy to make your Sabbath over-busy with activities and then it becomes one more day to run, rather than stopping to create space for refueling.

The key is to discover what refuels your soul tank.

This will be different for each of us according to the unique way God created us. Most important is to walk with Him and let your refueling time flow out of your relationship with Him.

If you are considering recharging activities with friends or family, have a brainstorming session and write down your own ideas.

Enjoy the gift of rest God offers you!

Starting Easter Sunday

PARK AT THE PARK

We are keeping our normal service times on Easter Sunday, April 24, and we hope you will invite guests who do not have a church home to join us as we begin a new sermon series called Transformed.

We are expecting a record crowd, and we need your help to open up parking spaces close to the building. Would you consider parking at Memorial Park and riding the trolley to the front door?

The trolley will run on Palm Sunday, April 17 & Easter, April 24 between 9:00am - 12:30pm. The large CrossWalk flags will be the pick up points at the park.

Current series

We humans have a nasty tendency to think that the universe is all about us. The truth is, God is center stage and we are merely bit parts in His universal drama. We do well to stop regularly & recognize how Big He is, and how small we are in comparison.

Join us as we spend 3 weeks practicing worship as described in Psalm 95 - authentic, spontaneous, all about HIM.

Disaster Relief
If you are looking for a way to financially help the people of Japan and others around the world, we suggest Samaritan’s Purse. It’s a quality Christian organization that helps people of the world with their physical and spiritual needs.
