Offertory Prayer
Restoring God, in seasons when your presence feels distant, you still hear the cries of your people. We come with longing hearts, bringing these gifts as signs of hope in your renewing grace. Receive what we offer and use it to restore what is broken, to strengthen what is weary, and to shine your light in places of despair. As we wait for your coming, shape us into a people who remember your faithfulness, who sing even in difficult days, and who live as witnesses to your promise. Restore us again, O God, that your salvation may be seen through us. Amen. (Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19)
