Capital Campaign Prayer                              Mary Meckenstock

 Leader:  Heavenly Father, we ask You to show us how to use our talents, our financial gifts and our time to help us as we place this campaign in Your hands, trusting that You will supply every need.  Bless each other with peace, joy, and a deeper sense of Your presence.  Multiply these offerings so they may bear fruit

far beyond what we can imagine.                      

Response:  May these  gifts help strengthen Your church.  May they ensure a legacy that future generations may know Your love, hear Your truth and be transformed in faith. 

Leader:  May the work we do now 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—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.

All:  We trust You to lead us forward, step by step, into the future you 

prepared, in Christ’s holy name.  Amen.

Scripture        Acts 2: 42-47           Mary Meckenstock

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Faithful Stewardship             Proverbs 22:9               Mary Meckenstock

“A generous person will be blessed.”    

Prayer:  “Lord of mercy, You say the  generous will be blessed, for

they share their bread with the poor.  Soften our hearts to see the 

needs around us.  Make us quick to give, slow to hold back, and

kindness.  Amen.”
