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
