Gracious and loving God, we give you thanks
for your never-ending love which you lavish on all your children.
There were many times this week in which we felt ourselves in the
middle of your love. We thank you for that blessing! written by

For
Children
“God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and
God abides in them.” Storypath contributor Noell
Rathbun-Cook,
writes, "There are a multitude of children’s stories on the
topic of love. In reading this text from 1 John, I was drawn into
wondering what it is to abide in love. How can that experience be
described? Though an odd little book, Oddly is a literary
image of the way love can change us and draw us home. Through love
we find our true selves, our purpose in life, and we find what it
is to be home." |

Returning our Tithes and Offerings You alone are God! You alone are worthy of
our praise and worship! It is to you who we offer our time, our
talents, and our resources. Today, we bring you our gifts of money
in response to the ultimate gift of love that you have freely
given to us in your unique son, Jesus Christ. God, please accept
these gifts as a symbol of our gratitude and love for you. Bless
us and these gifts, and use them both to spread your love to the
very ends of the earth. Amen.
