One - Thank you, LORD, thank you!
All - Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! One - I will stand and sing your praises in
the face of every would-be god!
All - Wherever I am, I turn towards you and fall to my knees in
gratitude, One - With everything you say and everything
you do your reputation continues
All - The minute I called, you were there for me, you put steel
in my spine, One - When the things you have been saying
sink in, LORD, all the earth’s
All - They’ll join the party, singing and dancing in your honor,
celebrating

One - As great as you are, you never think of
ordinary people as beneath you,
All - Although I must often walk into dangerous situations, you
protect me from One - You, LORD, have made plans for me and
you will see them through to
All - Your love is as timeless and dependable as the rock; you
have made us

Returning our Tithes and Offerings
Familiar words, though maybe not quite as we have memorized them,
for what the gospel of Matthew recalls is the order we have
preferred and used in worship as “The Lord’s Prayer.” As we move
into our time of offering, I extend to you an invitation to do a
bit more than simply speak the words of this prayer. In your
bulletin is a colored sheet of paper with this
prayer creatively divided into sections. Throughout this
worship service, I invite you to write or draw each phrase of the
Lord’s prayer. If the way it’s drawn doesn’t fit you, there is the
other side of the page, which is blank and thus wide open to your
own creativity. The offertory is a good time to begin this as we
return our offerings.
Perhaps there will be things said in the rest of this service that
will remind you of things you want to remember about a particular
phrase of this prayer. Or, situations from your own life may come
to mind almost unbidden as we continue in worship that connect to
a portion of this all-too-familiar scripture. Write or doodle
something down about this. At the end of my message, before we
sing our final hymn, we will pray this prayer, though not as we
usually do. I will speak aloud each phrase, but leave plenty of
time after each for you to pray it silently, given what you have
written or drawn upon this page.
Now, will the ushers come forward to receive what we desire to
return to the Lord for continuing the work of Jesus. adapted from a
