SUMMARY:Church Worker Appreciation – Director of Christian Education
DESCRIPTION:The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod historically has designated one month of the year for showing appreciation to our church workers\, who serve us in a multitude of ways as they preach\, teach and care for God’s people in body and soul. \nIn 2024–2025\, we have planned a year’s worth of observances to highlight the many different kinds of workers who serve the church and to give thanks for all of them and the indispensable and sacrificial work that they do: \n\nOct. 13 — Pastor Appreciation\n\n\nOct. 25 — Deaconess\, Director of Family Life Ministry\, Director of Christian Outreach\, and Director of Church Ministries Appreciation\n\n\nApril 28 — Director of Parish Music Appreciation\n\n\nMay 5–9 — Teacher Appreciation\n\n\nJune 26 — Director of Christian Education Appreciation\n\nOn June 26\, 2025\, we will continue our year of church worker appreciation observances by thanking God for directors of Christian education (DCEs)\, one of the seven commissioned (auxiliary) offices that support the work of the Holy Ministry. \nThe LCMS offers suggestions and resources to show your gratitude and support for DCEs. \nView resources \n\nLCMS Worker Wellness\n\nlcms.org/worker-wellness\nworkerwellness@lcms.org\n\n  \nSet Apart to Serve — LCMS church work recruitment initiative\n\nlcms.org/set-apart-to-serve\n\n\nsetapart2serve@lcms.org
