asking for hearts that will say, “Yes”
asking for your divine grace and power
to flow through our actions.
Holy God! We come before you

Compassionate Creator, in our shared life, may our actions, love, and giving reflect Christ’s presence within us. Help us live in a way that displays Christ’s life in us, showcasing love, respect, and hospitality. As we share and give, may it reflect not only on us but also glorify Jesus. Guide us in honoring one another and celebrating our commitments as part of our faith. In gratitude, abundance, and equity, we present these offerings, believing that sharing Christ is the most loving act. In the name of Jesus, our rock and redeemer, we pray. Amen.
