    The program includes a delicious lunch and a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share of fresh local produce each month for each participant. The rhythm of a Sabbath Life day includes a time of welcome, engaging Creation, worship and table, rest and recreation in shared silence, and time to reflect and connect.
