This prayer sanctifies the bride and sets her apart from all worldliness. Observance of the Sabbath makes her holy, a radiant sign of covenant between God and His people. Shabbat is not merely a pause from labor, but a sacred appointment — a day set apart for communion with the Creator. It is a time to rest from the week’s burdens, to lift our voices in prayer and worship, and to delight in the reading and study of the Word. In welcoming Shabbat, we welcome a foretaste of eternity, a glimpse of the world to come, where holiness, peace, and joy are complete.

"On the seventh day God finished the work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all the work that He had done. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all the work of creation that He had done."
Genesis 2:2-3

Come celebrate Shabbat with us — a day sanctified from the beginning of creation, set apart for rest, worship, and fellowship in God’s Word.
