"If ye have desires to serve God, ye are called to the work." Not called to the title. Not called to the spotlight. Called to the work.
This design carries D&C 4:3 under a hand-drawn wheat sprig — the harvest waiting, the sleeves rolled up. Espresso-brown vintage type on light garments, warm as a field in late summer. For the ones preparing to serve, the ones already serving, and the families cheering them on.
The details:
- Soft, true-to-size ringspun cotton (Gildan 64000) · relaxed unisex fit — size up if you like room
- Espresso-brown vintage print with a detailed wheat-sprig emblem, made for light colors

A meaningful farewell gift for someone leaving to serve — or a quiet reminder for anyone whose desire to serve is the calling itself.
Frequently asked
What does "Called to the Work" mean?
It's from Doctrine and Covenants 4:3 — if you have desires to serve God, you are called to the work. No committee required. The wheat sprig points to the harvest language of the same chapter: the field is ready, and willing hands are the qualification.
Is the Called to the Work shirt a good missionary gift?
Yes — it's made for exactly that: farewells, calls, and homecomings. It honors the work without naming a place or a program, so it fits every kind of service.
Why is there a wheat sprig on the Called to the Work shirt?
The sprig points to the harvest language in the same chapter of Doctrine and Covenants 4. The field is ready and the sleeves are rolled up, which is the whole spirit of the verse: if you have desires to serve God, you're called to the work. Willing hands are the only qualification, so the wheat stands for what those hands are for.
