a community creating for the relentless return of Sunday
Lord of our lives, you have not withheld any good things from your people. Trusting in your unfailing blessing, we present to you this portion of your gifts. Receive them with our gratitude, transform them by your grace, and use them to do the work of your love in all the world. We offer ourselves to you in the name of Jesus Christ, your greatest gift to us. Amen.

We thank you, God of abundance,
for the privilege of sharing your blessings with others.
We dedicate these gifts to you,
not to earn your favor or make a point,
but simply out of gratitude
for the amazing goodness you pour out on us.
Thanks be to you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Spirit of life, you long for the world’s transformation. Your vision is grander than anything we can imagine, and so we thank you for the privilege of participating in your mission. May these gifts be a blessing that speaks the language of this community, and may that blessing multiply out to every place. Breathe in us again this day, that our whole lives may be an offering for your glory. Amen.

We give you thanks, O God, for you are at work in your world. As we open our hands to offer these gifts, we open our hearts to offer ourselves, a living witness to your grace and goodness. May your blessing multiply in this and every place, until all know the glory of your love. Amen
