 Dear Friends,
 
Happy Labor Day to you all. Let us thank God for work, and thank both those who do it and seek it. May all our labors be labors of love that contribute to the world’s good.
 
 Almighty God, 
you have so linked our lives 
one with another 
that all we do affects, 
for good or ill, 
all other lives: 
So guide us in the work we do, 
that we may do it 
not for self alone, 
but for the common good; 
and, as we seek a proper 
return for our own labor, 
make us mindful of the 
rightful aspirations of 
other workers, and
arouse our concern
for those who are out of work; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
who lives and reigns with you 
and the Holy Spirit, 
one God, 
forever and ever. 
Amen.
 
PEACE,
 
Matt Matthews
