About Children's Sabbath:

Sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund, the National Observance of Children's Sabbaths Celebration is a way for faith communities to celebrate children as sacred gifts of the Divine, and provides the opportunity for

houses of worship to renew and live out their moral responsibility to care, protect and advocate for all children.

This celebration is a part of a broader Children's Sabbaths movement that aims to unite religious congregations of all faiths across the nation in shared concern for children and a common commitment to improving their lives

and working for justice on their behalf. In that respect, each action is

 bigger, more powerful and more inspiring than the efforts of any one celebration.

This year's focus is on closing the achievement gap in education that

currently has children of color in poverty falling further and further behind.

Join us as we celebrate our children and work to enhance their future.
