What do "Mormons" do on Sunday? Or the Sabbath Day, a day of rest

Here's what a typical Sunday is like for our family. I sleep in until 7:30 am (which is really sleeping in because during the week I get up around 5 or 5:30 am). My husband is up before 6:30 am to attend bishopric meetings. He's a leader in our ward (the people who live in a geographical area that we attend church with). Our family rule this year is to be showered and dressed and ready for church by 9 am. We eat cold cereal. This is a big deal at our house because we eat cold cereal only twice a week. This is one way it's a day of rest for me. No cooking breakfast. We may or may not do anything productive until we leave for church. I would love for us to write letters to missionaries, write in our journals, or do family history in the time we have before church, but that only happens occasionally. Church is at 11 am this year. We are on a three year rotation for the time that we go to church--9 am, 11 am, or 1 pm--since there are three wards in our building and we share the space. Often we have choir practice before church at 10:30 am. On Sundays when we don't have choir we try to arrive by 10:45 am so my son can help prepare the sacrament. We say hello to my husband before he sits on the stand--the raised seats behind the pulpit. We chat a little with each other or the people in front or behind us while we are waiting, although we are supposed to be listening reverently to the beautiful organ prelude music. Church lasts three hours. There's a sacrament meeting where we partake of the sacrament--bread and water, sing, pray, listen to talks prepared by members of the congregation, and sometimes sing a choir number. That is 70 minutes. Then I attend an adult Sunday School class and Relief Society--a class with women. The children attend Primary. The youth attend Sunday School and Young Men's or Young Women's. After we visit in the halls, we get to our vehicle and are home about 2:30 pm. We eat a small lunch--usually leftovers--again another way for me to rest, and take a nap. When the children were younger, they played quietly while my husband and I napped. Because this was our routine, they played together better on Sunday than any other day of the week. Sometimes my husband gets to come home and take a nap too and some weeks he has more responsibilities after church like counting the tithing. Around 4 pm we get up and work on dinner or go to choir at 4:30 pm. The late afternoon and evening vary depending on meetings, choir, home teaching. We try to have a gospel discussion on a topic from Preach My Gospel--the missionary manual, and discuss our plans for the week. We might take a walk or talk on the phone to our married daughter who is in college. We eat dinner, usually a simple one. My favorites are the ones my husband prepares. Much of the time we have appointments with members of the ward for home teaching or visiting teaching or we are being visited. Sometimes we have meetings. I like to go to bed early.

We don't watch TV. We don't go to the lake. We don't picnic. We don't go to stores. Some families do watch TV. That's a choice that is up to each family.

I don't know if that schedule sounds like a day of rest to you. My current calling or responsibility in the church is working with Primary leaders--those who teach children--in the stake. The stake consists of 11 wards. I get to visit their wards a few times a year. Then my day is busier. But what I love about the sabbath day, is the break from the regular stuff during the week. No homework. No playing with friends. No cleaning bathrooms. It's a day to rest and be with our family.
