Maybe it's me...
and this does not answer the Sabbath question at all,
but being a teacher, parent of 4, small group counselor, friend (and often counselor/adviser to some of those), husband, and very social person all week long; being around people all day on a Sunday, is just not REST to me at all.
The service is great, then home for nap, walking, hanging with kids, a bike ride, all are very restful...for me, rest is taking a break from interactions with people outside my immediate family, and when the church does events that I feel obligated to attend on a Sunday afternoon, it's not restful, so the church all day would not be great for me.
Just my perspective, on what rest is.
