sounds like my sweet grandmother. My grandfather was a baptist minister in a tiny village when I went to live with them.
I could read "nice" uplifting books on sunday -- not adventure or exciting ones. No running around outside with friends. The only non religious thing that went on was that she listened to "One Mans Family" on the radio at 5PM. But my grandfather had already left to walk to the church to prepare for the evening service.
And, yes, we went to church twice and had Sunday school.. Then twice more during the week.
It was a gentler time.
I read the funnies on Monday at a neighbors house

Make rolls and pie or cake on Saturday, pehaps even prepare a meatloaf, maybe a jello salad. Sunday morning before church, pop the meatloaf or a roast and potatoes and perhaps a squash in the oven. it all bakes merrily while we are gone (at 300 degrees). When we get home, wrap the rolls in foil to heat, throw some corn peas or beans in the microwave, set the table. Toss a green salad. Half an hour after we walk in the door, a great meal is on the table. Since it was so nice, everyone else volunteers to do dishes, ad I have a lovely afternoon with nothing to fuss about. Just sayin'. I LIKE Sunday dinner.
