Faith Talks: Observing the Children's Sabbath

To say that our children are our future is more than a cliché. It is the truth. Children are our most valuable resource, deserving of love, care, and support. That’s why we are excited that United Women in Faith – and The United Methodist Church – will soon participate in a Children’s Sabbath. Launched by the Children’s Defense Fund, these observances are an opportunity to center children, focus on how we can serve children, and renew our commitment to them.

On this episode of Faith Talks will welcome the Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson, Rev. Dr. Giovanni Arroyo, Rev. Dr. Yvette R. Blair-Lavallais, and Rev. Vahisha Hasan as guests on the live recording of the Faith Talks podcast. Our very own Sally Vonner, general secretary and CEO of United Women in Faith, will also join, which is exciting.

Rev. Dr. Wilson is the president & CEO of the Children's Defense Fund; Rev. Dr. Arroyo is the general secretary and CEO of The General Commission on Religion and Race; Rev. Dr. Blair-Lavallais is the co-founder and curator of Every Body Needs Food, and a 2024-25 Feeding America Equity Research Fellow; and Rev. Hasan is the founder and executive director of Movement in Faith.

With such powerful voices, we know you will leave the conversation feeling inspired and reflective.
