DEDICATION OF OURSELVES AND OUR GIFTS TO GOD
Prayer of Dedication
O God, creator of all that we have and all that we are, no one can utter all your
mighty deeds or declare all your praise. Yet accept these gifts, we pray, both as tools of
the work of the gospel and as signs of our pledge to be coworkers in Christ's name.
Amen.

UNISON PRAYER
Open our hearts and our spirits to hear your healing words of peace and love, O
God. Help us be the people of service and justice that you have called us to be. Make us
ready to heal rather than harm; to serve rather than sever. Give us hearts of joy and
justice, for we offer this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

TODAY’s Meet-n-Mingle will be our first
Church activity in our new Center, so, be sure
to join in at 10:30 am! Our contractor, Telco
Construction, has finished their part with the
installation of the acoustic sound panels and flooring. Still to be installed, is our new sound system
and stage curtains. Fund raising is going well, but
we are still short of our goal, since the costs are
greater than we had hoped. Now is the time to
make your contribution, or even add to what you
have already given. Thanks to all who have contributed. We look forward to attaining our goal &
celebrating the full completion of our Family Life
Center.
Please be sure you have given us a (blue) card with
the dedication that you would like to appear on
the plaque (for those giving a unit ($250) or more),
or in the booklet (for smaller gifts). Thank You!
