In the same way, Sabbath is much more than the absence of work. Through this 10-session study, we will expand our understanding of Sabbath as God\u2019s call to peace&#8211;peace with God, creation, and neighbor; peace of God, Jesus, and creation; and peace as freedom and justice for all. We will explore together how intentional acts of Sabbath-keeping benefit not only self, but society as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angela Finet lives in Mount Wolf, Pa., and is pastor of Mountville Church of the Brethren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Order now at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethrenpress.com\/product_p\/9780871783769.htm\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.brethrenpress.com\/product_p\/9780871783769.htm\">www.brethrenpress.com\/product_p\/9780871783769.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/sabbath-250px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/sabbath-250px.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/sabbath-250px-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#MissionAndMinistryBoard #StrategicPlan #RacialJustice #LoveOurNeighbors #Discipleship #NewTestamentGiving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/six-awards-from-associated-church-press\/\">Messenger and Communications receive six awards from the Associated Church Press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/conscientious-objection-event-for-adults\/\">Virtual event for adults will follow on conscientious objection sessions for young people<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/world-refugee-day-service\/\">Deportation Defense Response invites participation in World Refugee Day Ecumenical Service<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/brethren-bits-111\/\">Brethren bits<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/jeff-thomson-to-direct-bdm\/\">Jeff Thomson hired to direct Brethren Disaster Ministries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest in our Covenant Bible Studies series is here!
