Blessing for Those Who Labor

This prayer may be offered with or without the congregational response. Due to its length, consider using two or more liturgists to lead the prayer.

VOICE ONE:
Almighty God, Maker of Heaven and Earth, you declared your work good and so do we. Empower us to
continue your good work through the labor of our minds and hands.

VOICE TWO:
This Labor Day Weekend, pour out again your blessing and strength on all who labor.
On those who make it possible for us to have food on our tables:
Farm workers, truckers, grocers, cooks, and restaurant employees
