Pastor Teresa preaches and the sermon text comes from Mark 6:30-34 where Jesus invites the disciples to get away for a time of rest. We also hear a reading from Psalm 23 as we remember Jesus The Good Shepherd who extends compassion to our weary souls.

“A great benefit of Sabbath keeping is that we learn to let God take care of us — not by becoming passive and lazy, but in the freedom of giving up our feeble attempts to be God in our own lives.” –Marva J. Dawn
