INVITATION TO THE OFFERING Pastor Tom Alverson
God’s grace is abundant. Wherever we wander, God remains our God. The profoundness of God’s love stands in contrast to the harsh judgment of our world. In response to this unfailing love, let us bring our time, talents, and treasures to serve the ministries to which we are called.
TITHES AND OFFERINGS
THE DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
OFFERTORY PRAYER Delavan UMC
Merciful Lord, there is nowhere we can go – in the heavens above, or the earth and ocean below – to escape your loving care. Receive today the offerings we make and bless our gifts, that they may be a blessing. May this offering reflect our sincerest hope that all may be filled with your fullness. In the name of the one who calls us, we pray. Amen.
PRAISE SONG “There’s Power in the Blood” Delavan UMC
BENEDICTION Pastor Angel Rosario
Despite our failure, God redeems us and give us a name. We belong to God. Go forth into the world, assured and confident that you are claimed by the One who gives life. With all you do, share this grace with all you meet. In all you do, represent Christ’s magnificent love. Amen
