As we bring these gifts before you, we offer not only what is in our hands, but what is in our hearts—our gratitude, our longing, our trust. Receive these offerings, O God, and use them to bear witness to your resurrection power in the world: to feed the hungry, to welcome the stranger, to bring light where there is darkness, and to share the love of Christ in word and deed. Make us, too, living offerings— people shaped by your grace, renewed by your Spirit, and sent out to love as Christ has loved us. In the name of the risen Christ we pray. Amen.
