Matthew Machemer, Assistant Kantor at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series during Bach Week to talk about who helped him consider a career in church music, his path to where he is serving today, his responsibilities as a Kantor / Director of Parish Music, the influence of Bach in the role of a Kantor today, and what about Bach’s life and service to the Church has influenced him as a Kantor.

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.
