Vision and Mission Recitation

Capital Campaign Prayer:                  Mary Meckenstock       

Leader:  Heavenly Father, may the work we do in this Capital Campaign become a living testimony of your faithfulness, inspiring those who will come after us to continue the mission.  Let this be more than a project, for it is an act of worship, a declaration of trust, and a legacy of love for Your Kingdom.   

Response:  Grant us clarity of vision so that our plans align with your will.  Give wisdom to our leaders, courage to our members, and unity to our church family.  Let every meeting, every conversation, and every decision be guided by your Spirit and may your name be glorified.  In Christ’s holy name.  Amen.

Scripture                Psalm 51:1-12                           Mary Meckenstock

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Faithful Stewardship            Psalm 37:21                   Mary Meckenstock

“The righteous give generously.”                                          

Congregational Prayer:  “Righteous God, Your Word says the righteous

are generous and give.  Make us a people who give freely and faithfully,

with integrity in all things.  Let generosity mark our lives, not out of duty

but out of love for You and others.  Shape us into givers, not just of things

but of grace, kindness, and compassion.  Amen.”
