A Stewardship Prayer
Gracious God,
abundant are the blessings you have freely and joyously given us.
Grateful for the opportunities you provide for our journey,
living generous and compassionate lives of love, prayer, and service,
Help us now and always to offer freely and joyously to you,
O God, our gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
This we pray through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Christ Church's Prayer for Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.

For Wise Use of Talents
Almighty God, you have blessed each of us with unique gifts, and have called us into specific occupations, relationships, and activities using those gifts. Enable us to use our talents to witness to our faith in you and to communicate your love to the people we meet each day. Empower us to be ministers of reconciliation, love, hope, and justice. Keep us steadfast in our commitment to serve actively in your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
