Children of Abraham

​Caring for the Earth

Children in Kindergarten through Grade 6 are invited to quarterly gatherings hosted by four faith communities: Grace United Methodist Church, The Islamic Society of Greater Springfield, Springfield Board of Jewish Education, and Westminster Presbyterian Church. 
​

Youth in Grade 6 – 12 are invited to partake in their own gatherings during the same timeframe and to join in the fellowship of the meal. 

Children and youth from all faith communities are invited as we build friendships, learn about one another, and share a vegetarian meal. The 2022-2023 theme is: “Caring for the Earth.”
