Take Action

Hold a Health Care Sabbath


Congregations across the country have been dedicating one weekend to pray and teach about health care and its impact on families, create an opportunity for people to share their health care stories, and provide concrete steps that people can take to make their voices heard in the national health care reform debate.

Ask your clergy member or worship committee to commit to holding a Health Care Sabbath/Sunday.
