Mark 2:27: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
I was raised Catholic in the 70s, so we didn't have many hard and fast rules about Sundays (we never called it the Sabbath), aside from church (which could be attended on Saturday evening instead). It wasn't 'til I married into a conservative Presbyterian family that I heard people call it Sabbath (instead of Sunday). My wife's family had relaxed the rules around the day over the years, but there is still a strong sense of the cycle of church and rest.
We've come to settle on no hard and fast rules for our family, but our Sunday rhythm is very similar to yours. I agree that there are no hard and fast rules that a Christian must live by, but the concept of rest is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, and we should take that seriously.
