*Offertory Prayer in unison (based on 1 John 3:1-7)
Loving Creator, we come together to present our tithes and offerings. We are reminded of the profound love with which you have called us your children. Help us recognize that our
generosity and stewardship of the resources you’ve entrusted to us are a sign of our commitment to this holy transformation. May these offerings we bring today be a reflection of our love for you and our desire to be faithful stewards of your blessings. Bless our giving and guide us in using these gifts wisely. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
