Children’s Sabbaths® Resources

How to Use the Manual

This manual provides a toolbox. Let it serve as a guide, not a script. Every tool is offered to help you and your community take one more step toward Beloved Community.

Children’s Voices Toolkit

Centering children’s voices is also a womanist, trauma-informed practice. It acknowledges the particular harm that children—especially children of color, queer and trans children, children with disabilities, and children experiencing poverty—may face, and it insists on honoring their dignity, safety, and agency.

Use these resources in ways that deepen both your tradition’s practices and your connections with others.

Advocacy & Action Toolkit
