CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Dear Lord, Mighty Sovereign of the Universe, you have given this earth and all its creatures into our care. And since we don’t own the creation, we are aware that we must keep it in good order for you and the future of all. We confess that humans have done irreparable harm to the earth. Even if we believe that we, personally, have done no harm to the planet, we must confess that we have permitted others to do so, turning a blind eye as your rivers and streams were polluted and your land intoxicated. Give us the courage to be true stewards. Let us not trade in our covenant for indifference allowing latter day Titans to make expedient decisions based on their own greed. May your agenda be our agenda. Speak to our hearts and our consciences, O Lord. Guide us by your awesome vision; imbue us with your imagination. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Most Loving God, bless these offerings, to your use. Help us understand the difference between giving cheerfully and letting go of some of what we have. Keep us mindful of our good fortune and teach us to be wise with all that you have given into our care. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
