A Prayer for Stewardship
Gracious and everlasting God, the giver of all good gifts, you have blessed us and our parish abundantly.  Grant us the hope to dream and the courage to live into our possibilities.  Make us faithful stewards, both for the provision of our necessities and for the relief of those who are in need.  Bless the efforts of our Annual Giving this year to extend the work of spiritual renewal in our church and community of faith.  Through Jesus Christ, who gave all of himself, we offer this prayer. Amen.
