Pledge cards and Time and Talent Sheets were handed out yesterday morning at our Stewardship luncheon hosted by the Vestry. They will be mailed to those who were not able to be in church. Please fill them out send them back in by Dec. 4 for our pledge in-gathering.
PRAYER OVER PLEDGE CARDS
Gracious
and loving God, giver of all that is good and true and beautiful and
life-giving. These cards represent our sweat, they represent our lives, they
represent our dreams. The pledges which we make on them are but tokens of the
awesome gifts that have been given to us and they are pledged in thanksgiving
for all we have received, for all we have been inspired to be, for all we are
challenged to become, in this place. May
they be the first fruits of all we have and not what we have left over, so that
we may live out as closely as possible how you give to us. May we see them as
our offering to you, sacred, holy, yet earthy, filled with possibilities. May
we hold this image in our hearts and minds so as we watch our offerings each
week come to your table, we can see our very selves being part of this
offering, it is us on the table, living sacrifices to you. Amen.
