CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Wondrous Lord by your great mercy you have given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We have been given an inheritance that is imperishable, pure and unfading. We rejoice in you, even as we live through tough times and trials, hoping and praying that the genuineness of our faith will be revealed to the glory and honor of your name. Lead us to an understanding that we are always to be preparing ourselves for action, disciplining ourselves setting our hopes on the grace that Jesus Christ bestows. Through the Christ we have learned to trust in You. Therefore, teach us the non-conformity that is the mark of the Christian life in pursuit of holiness; for You have called us to be holy as You are holy. You raised Jesus from the dead and glorified him so that our faith would be set upon You. We have been reborn through Your living and enduring word which is more precious than gold. We give you thanks and praise in the name of the Christ. Amen.
UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Gracious and Loving Lord, gratefully and humbly we offer these tithes and tokens understanding that you have called us to be your partners in caring for all of creation. Help us to remember that this earth and its resources is a gift as well as a responsibility. May these gifts bless our shared efforts to bring the good news and love of Jesus Christ to all the world. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
