Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or
under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide
you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of
everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.
– II Corinthians 9:7-8
Thank God for the material blessings that have been showered upon you and
the other members of our congregation. Acknowledge before God that
everything you have belongs to God, and is given to you as a trust under your
care. Ask God to fill our congregation with cheerful hearts as we respond to
the opportunity before us. Ask God to move us to generosity as we dedicate to
God’s work the financial blessings that God has entrusted to us
