Labor Day for Dignity is about understanding God’s design for work
We believe work is a part of God’s identity, and He gave us work as a gift to continue His creation, live out our unique calling, and worship Him. Work has value and the power to heal. We need to make a shift in the way we view our work. Work isn’t simply about what we do, it is also about who we are and created to be. And with recent unprecedented economic uncertainties, unstable unemployment rates, job uncertainty and complacency as a result of the pandemic, the need for people to discover the dignity of work is more critical than ever before.
