With gratitude for all who have spoken out, organized, protested, negotiated, developed policy, advocated and stood in solidarity so that we might enjoy the rights and protections now available to all workers, and with an awareness that there is still more work to be done, we honor Labor Day.

Labor Day is rooted in the long struggle of workers for dignity, fair treatment, and economic justice.

More than a century ago, the Methodist Federation for Social Service—now MFSA—helped craft the Methodist Episcopal Church’s first Social Creed, calling the church to stand with workers and helping lay the foundation for what would become the United Methodist Social Principles.

Today, we honor that legacy and remember the ongoing work of justice for all workers.

Happy Labor Day!

May this be our prayer this week…

"Help Us Accept Each Other" (no. 560 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is a powerful hymn on reconciliation and forgiveness. Rooted in Romans 15:7 — "Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God's glory" — it calls us to love others "as we find them, or as they may become."

🎵 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us,
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted
and meant to love and live.

The hymn also reflects Ephesians 4:15: “But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.”

💭 What might you consider doing in order to "grow up into Christ" through love and forgiveness this week?

We are praying for all the students, families, teachers, school staff, volunteers, and others in our community who support education in one way or another. May you know God's presence with you and within you as you enter the new school year!

It's 'Back to School' season across our conference the latter half of this month. Would you pray with us?

God of learning
God of community
God in joyful spaces
God in challenging places

Be with and amongst our students, teachers, school staff and volunteers, mentors, parents and guardians as the school supplies are opened from their packaging, as excitement opens up new routines, and as a new year gives way to the future.

Amen.
