Offertory Prayer

O Lord, our God, we expect so much from You, and we are not

disappointed. May we respond in our stewardship, as You have taught us

how to give, and then be a blessing to others. Bless our tithes, sacrificial

gifts and mission offerings that we give today. May both the gift and giver

be used for Your glory. Multiply what we bring in ways that declare Your

glory! We desire to live faithfully and bear much fruit. Amen.

“Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the

work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in

vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
