Dr. Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund, will be the keynote speaker. The purpose of this worship service is to call us across political parties to lift up the issues of our nation's children. Clergy, you are invited to be part of the clergy photo with Dr. Edelman at 2:30 p.m. and then be part of the clergy processional but you must RSVP.  Children and Youth are invited to participate in the Children's Youth choir--details below.
