Concordia Deaconess Conference

10/25/2026

Blessed deaconess appreciation day to all of our sisters near and far who reflect Christ’s love and mercy in word and deed!

Today we recognize and thank the deaconesses who serve throughout the LCMS.

Whether caring for those in need, supporting congregations, teaching the faith, serving in schools or walking alongside individuals and families during difficult seasons, deaconesses bring Christ's mercy to His people.

Your work often takes place behind the scenes, but its impact is felt throughout the church and in the lives of those you serve.

Thank you for your compassion, dedication and faithful service.

Happy Deaconess Appreciation Day!

As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Deaconesses. Deaconesses are trained to serve God and His people through mercy work, spiritual care, and various other teaching opportunities. Deaconesses serve alongside pastors, and together they are often the first place people go when a life issue puts them in distress. Please pray for Deaconesses that God would continue to bless their ministry as they work closely with people who need care and support in this life.

Each Friday, find a weekly collect to include in your prayers as well as a relevant resource in the comments below. This week, pray for church work students, that they would be encouraged and equipped for lives of service to Christ and the world.

That all parents would have the desire and resources to teach their children the sacred Scriptures, which are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ; for all schools, administrators, teachers and students, that they would prepare young people for lives of service to Christ and our world; and for godly men and women who teach, that they would have the knowledge and skills necessary for their work, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

Que Dios bendiga a los hermanos en Cristo que se reunieron esta semana en San Diego, y en particular, a nuestras hermanas de la CDC que sirvieron en el pasado y a las que fueron elegidas a servir en varios puestos con la Convención Hispana de la LCMS.
