Time Out
by Lovietta Lyn Campbell
A Biblical example of the importance of rest to ones’ mental health.
“Sabbath observance invites us to stop. It invites us to rest. It asks us to notice that while we rest, the world continues without our help. It invites us to delight in the world’s beauty and abundance.”
― Wendell Berry

Our history of Sunday celebration and spiritual renewal
The Lord’s Day Alliance of the United States (LDA) was founded in 1888. That year representatives of six major Protestant denominations met in Washington, D.C. to organize the American Sabbath Union; this name was later changed to The Lord’s Day Alliance of the United States. We have been the one national organization whose sole purpose it is to maintain and cultivate the first day of the week as a time for rest, worship, Christian education and spiritual renewal.
Today, we’re now known as Rising Day Ministries of the Lord’s Day Alliance and we seek to create space in people’s lives to be transformed by God through reconnecting, renewing and reinvigorating them in the fullness of Sabbath delight and God’s Shalom.
