Hello, friends!
If you have been looking for a simple, stress-free way to bring the peace of the Sabbath into your home each week, I have some wonderful news. I have officially finished putting together the Weekly Sabbath Family Guide, and it is ready for your family—completely free!
My heart in creating this guide was to take away the overwhelm. Keeping the Sabbath shouldn’t feel like a rigid checklist of rules; it should be a weekly highlight that your entire family looks forward to with joy. It is my prayer that this guide can you help you create memories that will last a lifetime and bring your family closer to GOD.
A Quick Heart-to-Heart Before You Dive In
As with all of my resources, I want to share a transparent note from my heart: I am not perfect in my knowledge of the Sabbath. I am simply a student of the Word drawing from the best sources and understandings available to me.
I always want to encourage you to do your own research as a family! Let this guide be a helpful, inspiring jumping-off point. Please use your own discretion when choosing which activities, recipes, or traditions to bring into your home. Every family is unique, so feel free to adapt it to best fit your household and your convictions!
What’s Inside the Weekly Sabbath Family Guide?
I wanted this guide to be incredibly practical, visual, and easy for busy parents to use. Here is a look at what I’ve included for you:
- Short & Sweet FAQs: Quick, clear, scripture-rooted answers to common questions (like Why Saturday? and How do we handle sports?).
- Timeline & Preparation Checklist: A step-by-step countdown for Friday (“Preparation Day”) to help you get the cooking and cleaning done early, so you can transition into rest without the rush.
- Simple Family Liturgy: Easy, beautiful scripts for your Friday night opening rituals, including candle lighting, a husband and wife blessing, and a special scriptural blessing to pray over your children.
- Easy Sabbath Meal Prayers for Kids: Short, sweet, and simple prayers (including fun rhyming and echo options!) designed specifically for little hearts to learn and lead the family.
- Easy Sabbath Recipe Ideas: Seamless meal concepts pulled straight from our own kitchen archives to keep your hands off the stove on Saturday. Think comforting Crockpot Meals, make-ahead favorites like my Lazy Lasagna or a Cold Plate Dinner, a warm Make-Ahead Breakfast Quiche, and sweet treats like the Lazy Dazy Cookie Cake.
- Meaningful Family Activities: A curated list of screen-free, rest-focused ideas to keep children of all ages engaged, connected, and rejoicing.
