Observe the 2010 Children’s Sabbaths weekend
This multi-faith resource for year-round child advocacy serves as a guide for you and your faith community to engage in advocacy work with and for children and families. It includes resources for worship services, education programs, direct service activities, and social justice initiatives for your congregation, organization or community.
The theme for this year’s Children’s Sabbaths weekend, October 15-17, 2010, is “Blessed to Be a Blessing: Lifting Up the Next Generation". Through worship, prayer, and actions, faith communities will affirm children as the primary blessing God has given us and commit together to working to end child poverty. This year’s resource manual will only be available online for download.

This year, commit yourself to a Fifty Days’ Vigil of Prayer for children, continuing your vigil past the Sabbath weekend until the following Sunday, United Nations Day. 2010 marks the sixtieth anniversary of Trick or Treat for UNICEF, an initiative created by the Reverend
Clyde Allison, a Presbyterian pastor and curriculum editor. Read more about the Presbyterian Church’s connection to Trick or Treat for UNICEF in this year’s Presbyterian Supplement to the Sabbath manual.
