Sunday is Children’s Sabbath
The National Observance of Children’s Sabbaths, established in 1992 by the Children’s Defense Fund and endorsed by hundreds of denominations and religious organizations, unites religious communities of every faith in celebrating the blessing of children, focusing attention on the urgent problems facing our nation’s children, affirming the divine charge to nurture, protect, and seek justice for children, and putting faith into action through direct service and advocacy with and for children and their families.
Rev. Kristy Forbes Vits will be our guest pastor on Sunday. Rev. Vits is the Houston Development officer for Austin Theological Seminary. Kristy grew up in Houston as her father, Bill Forbes, served for many years as the Pastor at St. Philips Presbyterian Church. Kristy’s sermon title is “The GIfts of Children.”
