Work Day 2026

Dear Colleagues in Ministry,

I send greetings from the children and staff at Epworth and send this letter as a reminder that Epworth’s Work Day Offering is Sunday, September 13th this year. This Sunday has been designated as a time to promote children’s ministry, and to take a special offering for God’s work through Epworth. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1:27)

Epworth is not an apportioned item, and it relies heavily on the offerings received on Mother’s Day and Work Day to provide quality care to the 400 plus individuals who are in Epworth’s care weekly.

I am asking that you request materials for your church by using this link: Work Day Order Form.

Please allow your members to participate in this ministry to children and families by not only ordering and using the promotional materials, but also by telling your congregation about the work taking place at Epworth, and by praying for the work to be strengthened and multiplied. As the pastor of your congregation, your visible passion and intentional voice in support of the ministry and the offering play a direct role in the success of the offering. In other words, if you make a sincere appeal, your people will respond.

As you actively participate in promoting the annual Epworth Work Day Offering, please remember all gifts received from your congregation will be counted towards your church’s giving. Together we can surpass this goal and advance the ministry provided to children by your church. I want to thank you for all you are doing and will do for the children of Epworth.

Sincerely,

Beth Williams
President, Epworth
