L: Pilgrims on the way, when we feel lost and ask for a sign to show us the way out of our confusion,

L: When we face obstacles and barriers that keep us from the life God has called us to,
P: We remember that God is always at work among us, protecting and tending our well-being.

Offertory Prayer:
God of love and compassion, we ask you to dedicate the tithes and offerings we bring to worship. We do this in the hope that you will do more with them than we could ever do on our own to heal the brokenness and division in our world. Remind us that the work of reconciliation does not get removed from our list because we put something in the offering and that mission field is within our arms’ reach. This we pray in the redeemer’s holy name, Jesus the Christ. Amen.
