The Offertory Invitation
Lord, we do not pray for tranquility, nor that our trials and tribulations may
cease. We pray for your Spirit and your love, and that you will grant us
strength and grace to overcome adversity; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Offertory Prayer
O God, along with our offerings, we also give ourselves for your
service. Please use all that we give and all that we are to make the
world better and spread the good news of your love to all people.
Divine love through me blesses and multiplies all that I have, all
that I give, and all that I receive, in the name of Jesus. Amen

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the
earth.
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed
substance.
In your book were written
all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.
-Psalm 139:14-16 (NRSV)

us all with the
