Prayer of Gratitude on Easter

​One:    Precious Lord, this side of Lent we are so grateful for your patience with us;
            with our shallow confession, our fearful reflection, our longing to be where faith is easier. 
All:      We are grateful for Easter ~ the gift you came to give,
​            the life you mean us to have, the heart of our faith and our life together.


                            ~ silent gratitude ~

One:   May our gratitude take root in our lives and life together, O God,
           that we be braver and more joyful bearers of your grace into the world.
All:     Thanks be to God.  Amen! ©

Offertory Prayers


Unison: These gifts testify to our confidence in God’s promise
              To bless those who bless the Word
              To prosper those who hold nothing back.
              Thanks be to God. (c)

All:           In Jesus’ name we give, amen.
