Heidelberg Catechism
Lord's Day 38
Q. 103 What is God's will for you in the fourth commandment?
A. First,
     that the gospel ministry and education for it be maintained,
     and that, especially on the festive day of rest,
     I regularly attend the assembly of God's people
          to learn what God's Word teaches
          to participate in the sacraments,
          to pray to God publicly,
          and to bring Christian offerings for the poor.

   Second
     that every day of my life
          I rest from my evil ways
          let the Lord work in me through his Spirit,
          and so begin already in this life
     the eternal Sabbath.

Corporate worship is not meant to be a burdensome duty, but a gift from a God of grace who welcomes us to come to him again and again.
