Prayer of
Generosity
Most gracious God,
I humbly acknowledge everything I have comes from and belongs to you, and I come to you filled with gratitude.
Lord, I desire to serve you and to invest in your work through my church. I commit a portion of my financial blessings to you for your purpose through our the mission and ministries of my church.
Please use my gifts:
- For ministry to all generations - from infants in nurseries to senior adults in care facilities – experiencing your love through the loving care of our congregation.
- To help to transform lives as we seek to know you and grow in faith through worship, study, service, giving and sharing.
- As our church continues to build your kingdom by supporting and encouraging your churches around the world.
- To care for our neighbors locally and globally - feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, caring for the
sick and visiting the prisoner – as you have commanded.
Fill me with your spirit of generosity as I seek to share your love with our world.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We believe 2021 will be a remarkable year of ministry. Because we are in such a challenging and unique economic environment, though, we need your help, generosity and support this year more than ever. Your giving is an expression of your faith and your love for God, and is an investment in Christ's ministry through our church.
Every gift makes a difference.
