We’re closing out PCWC 2026 with a reminder to find joy in the calling God has given us. Jennifer Tanner, executive director for school and youth ministry for the LCMS Florida-Georgia District is leading our final plenary: “Called to Joy: One Good Thing at a Time.”

Today we celebrate our dedicated teachers for their years of faithful service. Congratulations to all who are inspiring others with 40, 45, and 50+ years in ministry (pictured respectively)—as examples of lasting commitment and Christ-centered impact. Thank you!

This afternoon, we celebrate Lutheran educators and administrators whose dedication reflects Christ’s light in their schools and communities — “The Shine Your Light Awards" Congratulations to Stephen Bernau, Janelle Hendricks, and Kirsten Jackson!

From ministry and discipleship to technology, leadership, education, family ministry, and more, PCWC sectionals are giving pastors and educators opportunities to dig deeper into the challenges and opportunities they face every day. We’re thankful for the many presenters!

Today, educators at PCWC 2026 are learning from Dr. Bernard Bull, president of @concordianebraska His plenary, “Features of Fidelity and Flourishing Lutheran Schools,” draws from more than 20 years of research.

This morning, we gather for worship. Before we are pastors, teachers, administrators, DCEs, deaconesses, or any other kind of church worker, we are people who belong to Christ. Thankful for the One who sustains us. Live as You Are Called. #pcwc2026 #missouridistrict
