Gracious and Everliving God, we are grateful to for this sanctuary and this day of rest. We live in a fast paced complex world, seeing anxious, burdened people in need all around us. We also find ourselves surrounded by technology that seems harder and harder to keep up with, the older we get. We witness people confessing that they haven’t figured out how to use all the features on their cell phone yet, and their phone isn’t even one of the smart ones. Help us to stay calm and trusting in the whirlwind of advancing trends. Loving God, remind us daily that the greatest of all links in the universe is that which our faith provides. By faith we are bound to you, and to your Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We embrace your power and authority, believing it cannot ever be diminished, or overshadowed even in this digitally enhanced world. Amen.
UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Gracious God, we offer these gifts of thanksgiving and praise understanding that they are instruments of goodwill. Let these gifts proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to those who have not heard it , whether in word or deed. As we labor side by side we offer our hearts and our hands to lead the lost out of darkness, to touch the untouchable and to heal those wounded by the world. Empower us to build ministries that transform and restore the souls of your people giving glory to Christ’s name in everything. Amen.
