Children's Sabbath at Lyons church

This Sunday (Oct. 21), the First Presbyterian Church of Lyons will join with thousands of other congregations across the nation in the 10th annual National Observance of Children's Sabbaths.

The observance is sponsored by The Children's Defense Fund and is supported by the National Council of Churches and approximately 200 different denominations.
