“More
Like You”
UNISON PRAYER
Creator God, whose will for us as
faithful followers of Jesus Christ is that we live by the Spirit, grant to us
love, joy and peace. Teach us patience,
kindness and generosity. Shape us to be
gentle and self-controlled. Turn us from
passions and desires of the flesh that separate us from you and violate love of
neighbor. Fit us for labor in your realm
and keep our hand to the plow. Amen.

*PRAYER OF DEDICATION (in unison)
O Lord, life makes so many claims
upon our time, our talents, our money, our energy. Sometimes our priorities get confused;
sometimes we fail to keep first things first.
As we give these gifts, we commit ourselves anew to following you. May our gifts and our lives help us in
establishing your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
