Offertory Prayer

May 26, 2013 – Trinity Sunday/First Sunday after Pentecost God of Love and grace, you created us at our birth, but you continue to create us in our living. Even in death, the journey will not be complete. As we share our gifts this morning, we strive to grow into sacrificial giving. It is when we are challenged that we are shaped, re-formed by you, into the disciples you long for us to be. May the gifts we give and the lives we live display to the world an endurance that produces character and character that produces hope. For we pray boldly, knowing hope that comes from the Holy Spirit never disappoints! In Christ, we pray. Amen. (Romans 5:1-5)

GBOD continues to deliver the full text of each month's offertory prayers via email. You may also find the Offertory Prayers online at www.GBOD.org

Invitation to Supper, a Reflection on Proverbs 9:1-6

Much of Proverbs points us to the choice we can make between wisdom and folly. Wisdom, personified as a hospitable woman, invites us over to share dinner. She has prepared the banquet and the place to share it. She issues the invitation that includes an exhortation: "It's time for you to grow up, to get over being foolish and begin living the life you should."

We still have that choice. We can choose the living bread that God sent from heaven.
