Opening Prayer
Loving God, you have spared us to see the beginning of another year. We thank you for bringing us through the storms of last year. We thank you for the hope you offer us as we face the days ahead. We trust in your love and mercy to carry us through. Whether we are able to stand among your children this time next year is totally in your hands. Your love and mercy will always sustain our lives. Today, we give you thanks and praise as we remember the past and face the future. Give us new eyes to see and new hearts to listen and obey. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Offertory Prayer
Loving God, today we renew our promise to love you and serve you as we ought. As we begin a new year walking with you, we humbly lay before your altar all that we have and all that we are. We ask your blessing on us and on our tithes and offerings, that this year we may become true disciples of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
