Children’s Sabbath
This Sunday, we join faith communities across the nation in observing Children’s Sabbath, a time when people of all faiths come together to pray, learn and act on behalf of children. At Lake Merritt UMC, our children and youth will lead us in worship as we celebrate their gifts and voices. Children’s Sabbath will be a sacred opportunity to reflect on God’s gift of children and to renew our commitment to protect and advocate for all children, especially those at the margins where justice is most needed.
.
During worship, we’ll hear from members of our community who will help us see the global and local faces of children in need:
· Dr. Taharka will share about children’s health challenges here in the Bay Area.
· Satu will lift up the educational and social needs of children in Sierra Leone.
· Deacon Stephanie will speak about the desperate conditions faced by children in Gaza.
Together, we will open our hearts to the stories, prayers, and calls to action that remind us: every child is God’s beloved, and every one of us is called to help create a world where all children can thrive.
.
Sunday worship begins at 10:15AM.
Join us in person in our sanctuary or watch online via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.
