Labor Day 2011
This has been a tough year for American workers and working families. How can you and your congregation show your support? Plan a Labor Day weekend worship service or educational experience that celebrates and honors the people who teach our kids, care for the sick, keep our streets safe, serve our food, build our cars, and help make our communities and our country a better place to live.
We gather on Labor Day weekend to celebrate the work that people do and the gift of work that God has given us. Several denominations and the National Council of Churches offer resources for worship and educational programs. Interfaith Worker Justice and the AFL-CIO sponsor the Labor in the Pulpits program on Labor Day weekend to raise awareness of the need for economic justice in our communities.
Participate in the Labor on the Pulpits program. Here are just four possibilities: Preach a sermon or homily on the need for fair wages for all workers; Pray for workers who are struggling despite working hard every day; Offer a litany based on the need for economic justice; Include information in your bulletin about the issue. Invite a labor leader to be a guest speaker that weekend. Follow this link for resources Labor in the Pulpits/on the Bimah/ in the Minbar

First Five Freedoms is proud to join Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, The Temple, and All Saints Episcopal Church for "Faith, Law, & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law" on Tuesday June 2. We hope you will consider joining us for this important discussion. Americans across the political spectrum are grappling with a shared unease: the feeling that something foundational is slipping. Trust in institutions is eroding. The norms that once governed public life are contested. And the concept of the public good — the idea that we share a common stake in fair, just, and accountable governance — is increasingly hard to find in our public discourse. This program brings together faith leaders, legal experts, and engaged community members for an evening of honest conversation about what is at stake. Hosted at All Saints Episcopal Church and co-presented by The Temple, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law (GLRL), and First Five Freedoms, the event weaves together spiritual reflection, legal analysis, and civic dialogue to address one central question: What does it mean to protect the rule of law — and why does it matter for all of us, right now? The evening will include reflection, analysis, and discussion designed to:
- Connect faith, law, and civic responsibility in an accessible, nonpartisan framework
- Examine current challenges to the rule of law and their implications for democracy
- Create space for authentic dialogue across perspectives and institutions
- Foster relationships and identify opportunities for collective action
Faith, Law & Democracy, Tuesday, June 2, 2026, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., All Saints Episcopal Church, 634 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta 30308. Featured speakers include: Rev.
