Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Loving God, without You we would be nothing. Help us to give back to others in the way that you have given to us.

May our offerings be just part of what we give to you this day and always, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
