October is Church Worker Appreciation Month the Synod’s designated month for showing appreciation, in an intentional and unified way, to those who serve us through their faithfulness, dedication and skill. These dear workers bless us in a multitude of ways as they preach, teach and care for God’s people in body and soul. Take some time to thank your church workers, present and past, for their faithful service to the Church. Your church workers need prayer. Pray for these workers and let them know you are doing so. Also please pray to the Lord of the harvest for those future church workers whom God will raise up to fill these sacred and joyful roles in His Kingdom.
