Church Workers in Mission

A great way for LWML to let church workers know their value is to make them feel welcomed when arriving in your district, zone, or church. Church workers also need to know they are appreciated after many years of service. There are many LWML prepared resources available at lwml.org/church-workers-in-mission. You can start by sharing the Church Workers in Mission brochure found on that page. 

Ideas for Pastor Support and Involvement

This resource includes ideas for showing support of your pastor and involving him at the local, zone or district level of LWML. These ideas are simply a "jumping off" point to use as you share God's love and serve the Lord with Gladness. Pastor appreciation cards to print can be found here
