I am glad to see that there is an intentional program to support church workers. I have been in service now for 42 years (as teacher,musician, deaconess, and chaplain). I find myself out-of-work when our country's economy is upside down, and the opportunities for work are slim, especially in healthcare. Funds I saved for years are dwindling in order to pay bills. Unemployment checks have been reduced 12.8% because of the sequester. My non-COBRA insurance pays little/none for my medical needs. I will be more than interested to see how church worker support will benefit me in this critical time in my life. Thank you for thinking about all of us!
