A STEWARD'S PRAYER:

Gracious and loving God, all that we have comes from You.

We ask for wisdom and discernment

as we consider how to support Your Church. Open our hearts to hear Your voice, guide our decisions with faith and trust, and help us to give generously and joyfully in response to Your blessings.

May our stewardship strengthen the mission of the Church, draw others closer to You, and glorify Your holy name.

We offer this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
