DEDICATION OF OURSELVES AND OUR GIFTS TO GOD
Prayer of Dedication
O God, creator of all that we have and all that we are, no one can utter all your
mighty deeds or declare all your praise. Yet accept these gifts, we pray, both as tools of
the work of the gospel and as signs of our pledge to be coworkers in Christ's name.
Amen.

UNISON PRAYER
Open our hearts and our spirits to hear your healing words of peace and love, O
God. Help us be the people of service and justice that you have called us to be. Make us
ready to heal rather than harm; to serve rather than sever. Give us hearts of joy and
justice, for we offer this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

TODAY’s Meet-n-Mingle will be our first

Construction, has finished their part with the
installation of the acoustic sound panels and flooring. Still to be installed, is our new sound system
and stage curtains. Fund raising is going well, but
we are still short of our goal, since the costs are

have already given. Thanks to all who have contributed. We look forward to attaining our goal &
celebrating the full completion of our Family Life
Center.

the plaque (for those giving a unit ($250) or more),
or in the booklet (for smaller gifts). Thank You!
