The
Shepherd cares for us,
providing
all that we need in abundance.

in truth
and action.
May
our gifts reflect our trust in the Shepherd’s care.
May
our offerings show our willingness to love one another.
Offering
Prayer
(inspired by Psalm 23, 1 John 3)
God
of love,
you abide with us;
you provide for all our needs
and guide us in your ways.
Out of gratitude for your care,
we bring our gifts before you.
Use them for your work of caring,
that all may feast at the table of abundance,
walk without fear,
and drink deeply
from the cup of compassion. Amen.
