SUMMARY:Church Worker Appreciation – Director of Christian Education
DESCRIPTION:Our church workers dedicate themselves\, day in and day out\, to serving their church and school communities. That means it’s always the right time to show them our appreciation. \nTo help the church be intentional in showing that appreciation\, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) has set aside the month of October and other special days throughout the year to highlight different kinds of church workers and their service. You are encouraged to join with your brothers and sisters in Christ across the LCMS in using these opportunities to show 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. \n\nOct. 12 — 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 26 — Director of Parish Music Appreciation\n\n\nMay 4–8 — Teacher Appreciation\n\nOn June 26\, we 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. \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
