SCRIPTURE Luke 22: 1-6
MEDITATION Fear-filled Intentions Dr. Burr
OFFERTORY SENTENCE
This night is different from all others. We intend by our presence here to remember the saving acts of God throughout human history. We have come as the disciples of Jesus to eat the Passover meal and, in his company, we are forever changed, for on this night Jesus will become the lamb of God, sacrificed to redeem the lost people of God. As we contemplate the gifts we offer we are compelled by the covenant Jesus has made with us, to carry on in his stead, to proclaim the good news, heralding freedom and release to all who are imprisoned and living in darkness. Your gifts bring the light of Christ into their lives.
OFFERTORY
*UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Merciful God, this evening we remember how Jesus kept his mission promise, to set at liberty those who are oppressed and to restore sight to the blind. We are still longing to find favor in your sight, knowing that each one of us falls short of your glory. When we offer our gifts to your service we are seeking to prepare our hearts, minds and spirits for the better day. With these gifts we perpetually acknowledge and seal our covenant with you. Bless them, in the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
