God invites us to wake from our slumber.
There is much to be done for God today.
God encourages us to proclaim God’s goodness and love.

Opening Prayer by All
God of abundance and mercy. Thank you for pouring your riches or love and grace into our lives. As we embrace this discipleship path loosen our grip on worldly things so that we may find joy in giving back at least some that you have given. So that others may come to feel your love too. Take away our fear of being generous. Free us to, give until it feels good, as we celebrate the goodness of knowing You. In Jesus name we pray, Amen
