Labor and Rest in the Bible Activities

What does the Bible say about work and rest? Explore Scripture passages related to labor and God’s command and promises of rest. The downloadable activities invite young people to look up Scripture verses and then express what they learn in creative ways.

This activity is inspired by the 2023 Catechetical Sunday theme of “Come to me all you who labor and are burdened.” (Matthew 11:28) In our driven and often anxious world, let’s remember to find times of rest even as we labor in the Lord’s vineyard.

Find inspiration for taking time for rest and stillness with Busy Lives & Restless Souls by Becky Eldredge or 8 Steps to Energize Your Faith by Joe Paprocki.
