How do cantors use church music to teach children the faith and form future church workers? Jonathan Rudy, Cantor at Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about the influence of Grace Lutheran’s music program on forming and recruiting church workers in the LCMS, how Lutheran liturgy and hymnody contribute to children loving being in the church, and his role in the Mid-South District Set Apart to Serve church work recruitment committee and collaboration with SAS.

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.
