Labor Day Sunday is one of my favorite Sundays of the year. Every year, a parishioner speaks about their work: What they do, why they do it, why it matters. I love it. |
|
I love hearing from others who believe in what they do, and are good at doing it. I love hearing how God calls different people to different kinds of work. I love hearing about the struggles and the joys encountered at work. And, we all need the reminder that our work matters, something that we are made to do to serve those around us (Gen. 1:28). |
|
One common critique of the Christian faith is that it is just not practical. This is not the case. The Bible has good news about your work. So, maybe this Sunday, you could invite a friend to join us as we explore a topic that is relevant to all: Our work. |
