“Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy.” Ex 20:8

Gloria Dei’s 2009-2010 Theme is Called to a Centered Life: Living Wholly in God’s Creation. This year’s Gloria Dei Reads Together topic will focus on what it means to keep the Sabbath wholly. 

We invite you to read one of the four suggested books and join a “book club” to discuss and reflect on what it means to keep the Sabbath wholly. What a great way for our whole congregation to come together and be engaged in a conversation about issues that really matter! Choose one of the following books to read and discuss.  

Keeping the Sabbath Wholly: Ceasing, Resting, Embracing, Feasting by Marva J. Dawn $12.00

Sabbath: Restoring the Sacred Rhythm of Rest by Wayne Muller $12.00

Receiving the Day: Christian Practices for Opening the Gift of Time by Dorothy Bass $12.00

Altar in the World, An: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor $16.50 (in hardcover only)
