Labor
Day is an opportunity for people of faith to remember God's
commitment to justice and to reflect on how we can help ensure that
workers are treated with dignity in the workplace. The
Labor in the
Pulpits program provides worship and study resources for congregations'
worship services on Labor Day weekend.
Congregations can participate in the Labor in the Pulpits in many ways,
including
using our worship resources and reflections focused
on justice for workers;
publicizing our Faith and Labor Picnic
to be held on Labor Day,
September 1st, or taking up a collection for the
Workers
Interfaith Network to be used in our worker rights campaigns.
