Area Congregations to Preach on Workers’ Issues This Labor Day Weekend
Each Labor Day weekend, in cities across the country, thousands of congregations participate in Labor in the Pulpits / on the Bimah / in the Minbar. The goals of Labor in the Pulpits are to educate congregations about connections between faith and work, inspire new friendships between people in religious communities and unions, present congregations with opportunities for acting on the social teachings of their faith groups, and give union members a deeper experience of their faith in action.
The 2009 Labor in the Pulpits/ on the Bimah/ in the Minbar program concentrates on how the realities of the health care system are impacting millions of working families. Access to quality health care is a fundamental moral value, yet 47 million people in the United States, nearly 750,00 of them Missourians, lack health coverage.
