(v. 14) You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. (v. 15) You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.

I. Description of the Liturgical Moment

On the first Monday in September, our nation pauses to celebrate workers and their contributions to the welfare of our entire country. To that end, Labor Day raises awareness of the need for economic justice in our communities. As we celebrate this Labor Day, many in the faith community must renew our efforts to bring attention to the American promise that if you work hard you should be able to support yourself and your family.

Labor Day Sunday services for All Americans moreover celebrate the fact that particularly people of color in this nation have worked tediously to shape our nation into a powerhouse of economic greatness. And it’s not just us, but Native Americans, Hispanic and Asian Americans, and many poor white Americans who suffered, bled, and died for the railroads, steel factories, and in militaristic employment for land and economic control of the world’s resources that have benefited the wealthy.¹

Today’s scripture reminds us to continually be aware of the way that we treat others. We need to be certain that we are not economically exploiting those who we have the power to oppress. Laborers contribute to our communities; our task is to be part of the solutions that restores dignity to those workers who are less fortunate than ourselves.

The Friendship Family will worship with the New Hope Baptist Church and Pastor Carlos Senior on Sunday, September 19, 2010.

Dinner will be served at 3:00 PM

Service starts at 4:00 PM
