Assisting our Pastors and Church Workers
How many of you had the opportunity to participate virtually in the Concordia Seminary Call Day services in April? Students received their first calls to ministry or received their assignments for vicarages and deaconess internships. It was an exciting time for both the students and The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).
And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:15).
So what can we do to support and encourage these new pastors and all church workers as they answer God’s call?
- We can pray for them.
- We can show respect, love, and thoughtful consideration for all they do.
- We can assist them as they work with God’s people.
- We can recognize their efforts and show thankfulness and appreciation.
