All things come from you, O God, and with gratitude we return to you what is yours. You created all that is, and with love you have formed us in your image. When our love failed, your love remained steadfast. You gave your only Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior. Your faithfulness has seen us through many dangers, toils and snares. All that we are, all that we have is a gift from you. And so in gratitude for all your gifts, we offer ourselves and all that we have, in union with Christ’s offering for us. By the Holy Spirit, make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to the world; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
All pray the Lord’s Prayer
