Prayer of Invocation/Confession

Gracious God, we know the beauty

of another day and we are grateful.

Plunge us into the depths of worship

so we may know sweet communion

with You. You have touched us and

never left us in despair. You have

held us in our grief and chaos and

You have never deserted us. Touch us

and hold us again! We thank You

today for forgiveness and healing.

Thank You for the Gospel story.

Thank You for the resurrection and

our trust in eternal life. We thank

You for this and so much more.

Thank You for this congregation and

for every individual soul. You have

the power to comfort us and care for

us. May we in return, trust, love and

obey. Amen.

Offertory Prayer

Almighty God, in whose presence we worship and in whose name we pray,

today we bring our tithes, mission gifts and sacrificial offerings to You. We

want our light to shine in the world through these blessings we bring to

You. We put our trust in You and we render our stewardship to You. We

join our hearts, spirits, voices and money, together to worship You. Please

increase our obedience and increase our faith. In the power of the Name of

Jesus, we pray and we give. Amen.

“Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the

work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in

vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
