Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

Teaching our children how to keep the Sabbath Day holy at an early age is very important but can be somewhat difficult. Children may become frustrated when they are continually told they cannot do certain things on the Sabbath Day. This lesson comes with appropriate alternatives for activities to help keep the Sabbath Day holy.
