Celebrating a Public Education Sabbath

Chris Liu-Beers, Former Program Associate · July 11, 2005 · Leave a Comment

Click here to download Celebrating a Public Education Sabbath

We invite every religious and faith community in North Carolina to join us in celebrating a Public Education Sabbath on their day of worship before the school year begins or at another appropriate time during the school year.

Please join us in:

  • Asking God’s blessings on our public schools.
  • Praying for all children, parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and school boards.
  • Reflecting on scripture and holy teachings about education.
  • Planning ways that your religious/faith community can support public education.
