Offertory Prayer
O Lord, our God, we expect so much from You, and we are not
disappointed. May we respond in our stewardship, as You have taught us
how to give, and then be a blessing to others. Bless our tithes, sacrificial
gifts and mission offerings that we give today. May both the gift and giver
be used for Your glory. Multiply what we bring in ways that declare Your
glory! We desire to live faithfully and bear much fruit. 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
