Offertory Prayer

Consoling and Guiding God, we bring our offerings and our very lives to your altar this morning. Many of us come feeling like we are in the midst of a storm, with disagreement and discord buffeting us from all directions. Help us to hear your voice in the midst of this, your call to serve, and your encouragement to endure for the work of the kingdom. Lead us to the light and hope of this Easter season, so we can joyfully and faithfully serve you in the world! In the name of Jesus, our rock and redeemer, we pray. Amen. (I Peter 2:19-25)

Oraciones para ofrendar

Dios consolador y consejero, presentamos nuestras ofrendas y nuestras vidas a tu altar esta mañana. Muchos de nosotros venimos sintiéndonos como si estuviéramos en medio de una tormenta, con desacuerdos y discordias que nos sacuden desde todas las direcciones. Ayúdanos a escuchar tu voz en medio de esto, tu llamado a servir, y tu aliento para soportar el trabajo del reino. Llévanos a la luz y la esperanza de esta temporada de Pascua, para que podamos servirte con alegría y fidelidad en el mundo. En el nombre de Jesús, nuestra roca y redentor, oramos. Amén. (1 Pedro 2:19-25)
