CDF Joy on the Vineyard – Worship Service

Worship at Union Chapel

Sunday, August 2

For more than a century, Union Chapel has been one of Martha’s Vineyard’s most beloved gathering places — a space where community, faith, and conscience have always met. Children’s Defense Fund is honored to join in that tradition.

We are excited to worship alongside Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III, guest preacher and Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ (Chicago, IL). Rev. Dr. Moss is a longtime partner and supporter of CDF — having served as Co-Pastor-in-Residence for the Hall-Proctor Institute for nearly two decades alongside his father, the Reverend Dr. Otis Moss, Jr.

On the morning of Sunday, August 2, we invite those on Martha’s Vineyard to worship with us. Come as you are. Come to reflect. And come to recommit to the children who are counting on all of us.

Date: Sunday, August 2
Time: 9:50 AM – Organ Prelude; 10 AM – Worship Service
Location: Union Chapel, Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard

Carry the Spirit Home. Host a Children’s Sabbaths Celebration.

The work of worship does not end on Sunday morning. Each year, congregations and faith communities across the nation gather for the National Observance of Children’s Sabbaths® — a sacred invitation to center the voices of children, root your community in scripture and shared wisdom, and move faithfully from worship to justice-centered action.

CDF’s Children’s Sabbaths manual is your companion for that journey. Flexible and accessible, it is designed to meet your congregation where it is.

Join the hundreds of faith communities who gather every year to amplify children’s voices and build Beloved Community.
