Abstract

Lost in what has become an understanding of Sabbath as an individual spiritual practice is the essential element of community. The project involved inviting the members of two congregations to commit to a community celebration of the Sabbath for several weeks. An initial survey assessed the community's current understanding of Sabbath and how it is observed. Participants were encouraged to set aside engagement in commerce and work (broadly defined), and invited to join with fellow participants in worship and restorative activities. The project demonstrated that the Lord's Day and many of its spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits can be reclaimed.
