Mary Durkin- Observing Sabbath

Mary Durkin and daughter

Mary describes a bit about sharing
 Sabbath with her family.
This past Sunday our family set aside
 an intentional Sabbath Day.
We began by praying and
 then choosing verses
 to journal in our Bible.
We gave our kids-
 daughter- age 13, 
and son- age 9
verses to read.

Together we journaled, created, 
and discussed God's Word.

Each person did something.

But the best part 
is that each of us grew in God's Word-
and grew closer as as family.

Mary is exploring and experimenting
with family discipleship with some new formats.
We give thanks for the heart 
of adventure in family faith life formation
 in the Durkin household. 

Mary is a 4th grade teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia
and her husband John- 
is the DCE at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church,
 Springfield, Va.
In her "spare" time Mary enjoys reading,
playing games with her family, and
Bible Journaling, 
Recently she has added
 a very leisurely pace of training 
for some future marathon- somewhere.
