Church Worker Appreciation – Pastor
The LCMS begins a year’s worth of church worker appreciation observances by thanking God for our pastors, who stand in the stead of Christ as they bring us His gifts of Word and Sacrament.

The LCMS continues our year of church worker appreciation observances by thanking God for four commissioned (auxiliary) offices that support the work of the Holy Ministry: deaconess, director of family life, director of Christian outreach and director of church ministries.
On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses — the “Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences” — to the church door in a small city called Wittenberg, Germany. This ignited the Protestant Reformation, and thus the Lutheran church officially commemorates this important anniversary on Oct. 31.
