I don't, but I kind of wish I did. When I was growing up (in the 80s), my mom didn't do laundry on Sunday, and she didn't let us do it either. My dad, even though he was a reverend, didn't care, he just did laundry. She grew up AME(African Methodist Episcopal) and he was Baptist. I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
Her parents went even further. Sunday was a day for enjoying a nice home cooked meal after church and then listening to gospel on the radio (one of those big console radios with a record player). They didn't do anything else, no chores, housework, etc.
I would certainly set the day apart and not do work or unnecessary housework. I try to focus on reading Christian books and spending time with church members in the afternoon as well. It helps to focus on God.

I miss it a lot.
