Confession

God of all, we admit that our experiences often rule our thoughts and actions. We can be caught in the fear of not having enough, fear of letting go, or fear of the unknown. Forgive us for placing our trust in worry instead of in you. Remind us again that your love casts out fear. May we walk forward in faith, trusting that you are always with us. Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving 

Loving provider, all we have and all we are come from your hand. We give back now, trusting that you will use these gifts to bring healing where there is hurt, hope where there is despair, and justice where it is long overdue. Receive our offerings and receive our hearts. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.
