Conversation Sabbath is quickly approaching! We're inviting
congregations across the nation to take part in Conversation Sabbath between October 24th and November 3 by sharing each faith’s teachings on the critical topic of end-of-life care. We encourage clergy leaders to support congregants in having the conversation in familiar settings, and not during a medical crisis in the ICU.

about why congregations are an ideal place to have the conversation!
