Offertory Prayer
Holy and Generous God, we humbly bring our gifts to your altar, conscious of how unwilling we’ve been at times to let go of money to help others, but how easily we can spend on ourselves. When God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah that the Israelites of old “had gone after worthless things” many of us can see ourselves on the receiving end of that critique. Help us to learn better to invest what we have in that which has lasting value: love, hope, compassion, redemption, and reconciliation. We pray in the name of the one who was all these things made flesh, Jesus the Christ. Amen. (Jeremiah 2:4-13)
