  This week in our Sunday service we looked at the concept of Sabbath; a whole day to stop, rest, delight and worship. Hopefully, you were challenged to think about how you might practice the Sabbath in your life so if you’d like so ideas to help you get started we’ve collated some resources here that you might find useful and inspiring. Check out Pastor and Author John Mark Comer’s website which has a really practical digital workbook you can download for free which gives you four weekly step by step guides to help you build up your practice of Sabbath: HOW TO UNHURRY We’d also really recommend his book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry which has a whole chapter on practising the Sabbath.

If you’re interested in exploring Sabbath as an act of resistance to our modern culture then you might like to read Theologian Walter Brueggemann’s book: If you’re wondering how to get started with Sabbath with children at home, have a listen to this brief and helpful advice from Children’s Pastor and Writer Rachel Turner:
