Emergency Workers Appreciation Night Report

emergency-workers-appreciation-night-001This past Sunday night 7 Oaks Church of Christ honored the emergency workers of our community.  We invited all law enforcement, firemen, and EMT workers to our evening service and a meal.  We advertised on Facebook and the local paper for this event.  We personally invited many of our Emergency Workers and departments.

The night went well.  We had about 10 Emergency workers and their families present.  We had a special meal in their honor.  We did soup and chili with pimento cheese sandwiches.  One of our ladies made a cake and we had lots of other desserts too.

We kept the service a little shorter.  I preached from Romans 13:1-7 and the story of the good Samaritan.  My point was that these workers are serving as good Samaritans amongst us and are deserving of respect and honor.

The workers and their families were very appreciative of this honor and we believe the prayers and thought encouraged all of the workers in our community even though many did not come to the specific event.

We have done similar nights for other professions in years past.  But your congregation may want to consider having such a night for workers in your area.
