How do Lutheran School Associations support LCMS teachers and schools? Dr. Cole Braun (executive director of The Association of Lutheran Secondary Schools - ALSS) and Dr. Tom Wrege (executive director of Lutheran Education Association - LEA) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about their individual journeys into church work careers, the organizations each of them serve, how these organizations support Lutheran educators and schools, why Lutheran education is important to each of them, and how Lutheran education is responding to the needs of families today. Learn more about ALSS at alss.org and LEA at lea.org.

Christ’s church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers.

Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations.

Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS:

1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers.

2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers.

3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.
