Almighty God, whose loving
hand has given us all that we possess; Grant us grace that we may honour thee
with our substance through the support of our parish church.
Filled with your love, we
respond to your call to be disciples of your Son. Unite us as a community of your
disciples. Open our hearts and minds to your abundant grace so that
we might become good stewards of your gifts.
As good stewards, teach us to
receive your gifts gratefully, nurture them responsibly, share them selflessly,
and return them to you with increase, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
