Desire a Better Country

Dear Children of God: Dear Beloved Children

Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

As we enter this third part of the “Dear Children of God” series, I encourage you not to lose the verve and vitality that flows between the lines in the letter to the Hebrews.

Faithful and Gracious God, you have called us to be a people of hope, to trust in what we cannot see. As we bring these gifts before you, we offer not only our resources but also our faith -- faith that you are at work in our giving, building a future of justice, mercy, and love. Bless these offerings, that they may be signs of our longing for your kingdom and our trust in your promises. May our generosity inspire others to live with courage and conviction, seeking that better country you have prepared for us. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen. (Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16)
